    might be a good

    recently I noticed my yard has gotten so strict with the Zero tolerance for plastic , All they want is metal if an item has plastic they deduct
    but on the other hand they seem to be paying very well - - tomorrow I will get the price's they are paying for mix and short. I would like to compare with some members as i think my yard is passing some of the wealth for zero plastic diligence . My yard goes by the GT.
    2.60 for #2 copper .55 for AL those i feel they still pay low on .

    As of 3/15
    Mix is going for $270.00 GT
    Short is going for $330.00 GT
    I would like to know if this rate is better then most or lower
