    Some of our customers in Kansas City are running craigslist ad's and charging people to pick up material in the range of $100-$150 and than taking the material to the scrap yard. Makes since to me charging people plus getting paid for the scrap.

    i just took a junk car i got for free. anyway price at scrap yard took i dive from $93 a ton to $33 a ton! total amount was like $70 and that was even with the cut off cat!
    asked the lady in office if price is going back up anytime soon? and she did not think anytime soon till least around march some time? i think this will be my last vehicle till price's go back up. not worth my time to take it in at this point! you know thats not a good sign when there is no waiting line at scrap yard!!!!

    There will always be someone or some company bringing in scrap - either out of necessity or they don't know the market how this forum does.
