Scrapper's percent of recycled steel?

This is just a curiosity question for I know someone on the forum will know. Of the larger scrap yards buying scrap steel and shred about what percentage is brought into the yard by private scrappers driving pickup trucks, towing scrap cars and so on versus their industrial customers they pickup using dump trailers or large hauling bins? I'm just sort off looking for a rough figure that's all.

That is a great question, but I am sure it depends on the location of the yard. This is only one persons perspective and only a guess based on observation because I do not have access to the numbers.

If you are talking about the big boys on the coast that ship directly overseas, scrapers are a sliver of their business plan. The majority of it is coming from smaller yards with contracts. Large yards in metropolitan areas have a very large percentage of industrial customers. Smaller yards serve more individuals, at least in Omaha. My usual yard in a community of 20,000 is 50/50. 99% of metal coming into a rural yard in a community of 2,000 nearby is from individuals. Maybe someone has done the research and can provide a more detailed and accurate answer.
