    I'm new here, glad to part of this forum.

    Hi everyone, I'm up in Huntsville Ontario and although I've sold a bit of scrap all my life as a contractor mechanic now I'm retired and would like to learn how to get better prices in Ontario.
    I'm sure you'll hear from me soon.

    Great! Welcome from Montreal. Many Ontario yards offer better prices than we can get here, especially in the GTA. It is not really cost efficient to travel from Huntsville to GTA with shred, but if you happen to go there and you have copper or brass ready to go, it can be a good idea to check out some prices online and shop for the best trustworthy yard with the best prices. Anyway, if you have access to more than one yard, it is often worth to check out prices wherever you're located.
    NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).
