Copper Price Detroit Michigan
Havent been doing this long or very much of it, Have a small car so dont do much normal scrapping just been stripping wires for a few months now off and on. Mainley strip power wire for car amplifers, Get a decent amount of weight for not much work. Trying to find ways to strip smaller stuff easier.
Anyways, First time i went to the yard (I take it to the 'burbs, Alot of police bull**** in the hood) i got $2.60 a lb for bare #2.
Second time i got $2.40 a lb.
Went again today havent been there in about 2 months, Got $2.45 a lb and a few laughs. Cant complain. Prices aient dropping like ive heard people around here say they were going to.
I had to laugh when i pulled up, The dude/owner running the desk is a older man whos sarcastic. I pull up and theres metal signs like you see for handicap signs, That size, All along the barb wired fence saying 'Church Van Parking Only' I shoulda took a picture, I got a good chuckle out of it.
He quoted me .75 cents a lb for insulated. Which i have a **** ton of which alot is so small i dont think will be worth my time stripping it, I may have to consider that.
