There's a better option out there

Just dropped at a new yard today, what an eye opener. Insulated wire i was being paid .75/lb for was instead 1.80. copper i thought was #1 was appartently something even better. the same copper that my last visit to the aforementioned scrap yard yielded me 3.00/lb for #2, instead got me 3.60/lb as bright. Point here being, Know what you have, don't trust others to know your business for you. BTW Mid-city Steele is the rip off artist i'm refering to. For an honest and friendlier option head a few miles down the road to A&E metals!!

Very true. I second that post. Checking a new yard can really be rewarding to the bottom line. I went to the same yard for 2 years before trying a different one last fall, and what an amazing surprise. I wasn't getting rooked as bad as Jeffmess16, but I earned more in each category. Not only that, the yard was very clean, the parking lot was clean, and two guys met me at my van with a cart and wheeled my sorted bins and buckets in for me. I couldn't believe it. They also paid by check, but had a check cashing window right there so I could leave with cash.

It pays to check around, especially when hauling in the better loads.
