Wish I could take my load in. I'm going to watch the prices a little more before making any decisions. I have about a 50 gallon drum of #2 copper, 55 gallon drum of extension cord. A 30 gallon garbage can half full of brass. Another one heaping with insulated wire. third of a garbage can of #1 copper and a five gallon bucket of bare bright. Its going to be cashed in after summer. Although I don't know how much storage space I have left.
With copper prices the way they are it might be good to cash in any copper or copper bearing scrap now if you're still getting decent prices. Today I got $1.70 a lb for #2 copper, 15 cents a lb for motors, 13 cents a lb for a compressor, 60 cents a lb for 50 pct insulated wire, and $1.00 a lb for light(yellow) brass. Aluminum scrap categories went down also.
If haven't already, read the thread on metal prices. Prices are dropping.
Turned in 12 pounds of motor winding's go 2.12 cents a pound. Just wanted to dip my toes in the water
have fun and hope its just the beginning of the big ones work hard and cash will follow
