On a bit more of a positive note, “Taking a Break”’is officially over for me. Most scrap prices in FL have bounced back far enough to turn things in profitably. $4.25 per 100 lbs. for shred is doable at today’s gas prices. My yard boss says we should continue to see other metals rebound slightly as demand creeps higher. I know I’m not talking big bucks here, but for the guy who has run out of hoarding space or his/her spouse doesn’t wish to run the high hurdles on the way to the car, this is a bit brighter.
I’m still out working in a mask and gloves, and got the once over from a rent-a-cop on Memorial Day, but maybe some things are looking up.
Continue to take care
