    Scrap prices moving south for May

    Hate to be the bear here but scrap is gonna tank 40 a ton next month. Maybe more maybe a little less either way its going down. If your yard hasn't dropped there prices yet I would get it in ASAP. They are calling for a June rebound though but who can really tell the future. Good luck.

    not a big deal

    Scrap goes down every summer in the north. Not a big deal, simple economics.

    I hardly ever check the prices , I work out of my garage and driveway so I have to keep it fairly clean, I have been making more than ever on light tin here but it is due to the trucks we have bought, they hold more than a Merc. Sable

    Well I can verify this has already started. Down $20 a Ton today here in Central Indiana. We were sitting at $240/Ton.. Pd $220/Ton Today. Bummer!
