I'm getting $ .25 for transformers/motor scrap.
$ .40 at Morris and $ .50 at at Slesnick for clean aluminum.
I stripped some today and I think I'll just sell them whole.
I'm still considering a hammer mill/shredder though.
At the very least I can get more volume into a gaylord.
Give FPT Canton a call. They are on Maple Ave off Mahoning Road. They don't buy low grade boards or mid grades whole from what I know but their non ferous prices are real close if not better to Slesnick at times. Just in case you want some more price checks to keep everyone honest.
To me that volume will keep you buried in breakdown. If you got a source for .12/lb which is more or less shred price....I would seriously think about unloading them whole. At that point your just turning and burning them with not a whole lot of manhours and cash into them. It sucks to see the copper and what not go for shred but sometimes it makes more sense from the wallet and time angle.
