Scrapping and adapting

I'm a knowledgeable Street Scrapper ( recycling ) I'v been selling scrap long enough to of experience monetary High's and Low's
But the most recent price's have been disheartening .
Is it nation wide ? You Tell Me
My final disappointing adapting
mix Steel is at .07 per pound That I consider OK considering
what I've seen as Hight and Low's
BUT let's get to the Bread and Butter of a Street scrapper that works out of a Van , Pick up or less
Electric motors .10 cents
Copper bearing .10 cents
Dirty AL .08 cents
AL is down But that's OK
Busting out vacuums to the tune of 100 pounds to make $3 more then just Mix Shred NOT WORTH IT
now I just cut off the bulk of plastic so as not to be excessive plastic to metal and sell as mix
copper bearing I might or might not bother
Dirty Al - HA HA HA there is your answer on that
So the bad is obvious to a street scrapper
The good is , it's LIBERATING pack truck with out worry
Clean AL - Copper & Brass are the last hold out's
So i'm still in the game BUT I feel some thing fake going on here
after all I see the yard still has organized Gay lords of
Electric motors
Copper bearing
Dirty Al
Well it was a great run !!
