    A little west we are getting $ 150 for unprepared iron. Not sure about tin or copper. How long has your price been at this level?

    Last week I got $170 a ton for shred in my steel dumpster. I got $2.90 for 900 lbs of #2 copper on Friday of last week.
    There may a million better places to live than Iowa, but none of them are home!

    Last time I checked we were at $160 a ton in Georgetown. In Austin, they usually hover around the $120 mark. Not sure about copper, I haven't gotten much of it in a while.

    Northern Kentucky- shred $120 ton - six cents a blankin pound- really - costs more to haul it there. The yard isn't big on ferrous but they buy some electronic stuff and I don't have much ferrous so I take my computer cases and what not there.

    In Houston Shred was @ $8.50 per hundred. I have not taken any in because it's so low. I will stack until price goes back to make it worth taken to the yard.
