    No worries man. I went out of town on Friday for the weekend (Zip-lining- Whoot) but we'll connect at some point for sure!

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Only about 500 miles away from me and $110 per ton difference? Probly only around 400 miles from guys in southern ontario payin the same price as im gettin. Unreal. That doesnt make much sense to me. Ask your yard who buys from them so i can make a suggestion to my yard! LOL

    The yard I sell to operates 21 satellite yards in my surrounding states, I happened to stumble upon the main processing yard and they were quite eager to work out a deal with a roll off, 250 shred and 280 for the heavier stuff

    I used to get 190-200 for cars/shred. Could remove anything and leave fluids as well. I still drained em tho. Made a mess of the flat bed when the claw grabbed em. And i get .15cents per liter of waste oil so.

    at one point last year jord we were getting 290 for auto scrap, spring of last year if i remember right.

    closer to the coast or a major shipping yard the prices should be better.

    You have to look at the big picture here,the guy in the White House just does not know how to run this great country of ours,I don't know any body in any business that is doing better than sub par,do you?We are working harder then ever and making less,Gas got cheap here diesel today $3.89 a gallon, insurance going up, hope we can last the next three years of this guy's term.The world is laughing at us, the low prices we are getting for scrap are a direct link to orders manufactures are not getting for there new goods,we have to open the pipeline and drill for our oil,they should lower our taxes and put that money in our hands so that we can spend it and get this country back on the right track.God Bless America.
