Hi i scrap as a hobby and am willing to travel. I live in the chicago area and am looking for the best prices to take my scrap too. If Indiana pays better than Illinois ill definetly drive the border! So the question im asking is what location pays better?
Indiana or Illinois?
Prices? Suggested Yards?
Thank you for any help! Im clueless!
A Few Phone calls to yards within a radius of travel you are willing to go.. would probably be your best bet!
I would have to agree with sledge, you can also go to a yard, see the prices, if you don't like them, you can go to another yard. Many yards have advertised prices for newbies and one shot wonder kind of customers and then they have preferred pricing for those that are regulars. Meaning, if we start giving you the prices from yards that we get, it would most likely not be the same price you would get until you get a reputation at the yard. I personally go to 2 different yards and have a location that I ship the good stuff to, both yards know me by first name and I don't have to show ID at either one. I know other "scrappers" that go to one of the same yards that I go to, but different location, and all he has ever done is complain.
Don't mean to sound harsh or rude in any possible way.
Happy Scrapping.
PS. If you have a smart phone, there are a couple of different free apps for scrappers. Just search for "scrap" in the play store. Don't know about the apple store as my apples grow on trees.
I like Big Daddy Scrap in Chicago Heights. They're paying better than most around here, and the service has been great. They have a website, where they post their prices, which is updated regularly.
