Well all said an done Prices are ok for the seller of scrap but for me they took away an item that was once .15# back in the day
but always at least .10# now it's priced as mix .

Wietsman has some of the best sorting / recovery technology for their ASR Fluff and is either in the process of installing or just finished installing more advanced equipment. This includes a line to recover micro-fines and a dry media line to process Zorba and remove the 2 to 3 percent heavy red metals from the mix.

If I'm to read thru this i'd consider that I'm going on close enough to a generation of selling scrap & Weissman's is now establishing a policy
that we now must except . There equipment is replacing our work to separate and prepare Copper bearing . They took our piece of pie

If your not happy with the price, then it's time to find another yard.

Thier equipment is about returning the most valum per ton (and increases worker safety). Increases recovered value allows for increased prices which help all of us.
