Buying e-waste and non-ferrous commodities in Las Vegas

Updated pricing. Added a couple of items.

For the time being am no longer buying or selling ewaste or any scrap

Hi all! Pricing updated! Am now doing some buying for Red Rock Metal Recycling here in Las Vegas where I work! Hurry and sell us all your stuff lol!

Nice monitor pricing! Confirmed some of what I was thinking. Wish I could make it work with shipping. I looked at LTL with 15 pallets, 9000 pounds and it would have cost as much to ship as I probably would have gotten. I guess I just live on the wrong coast in this situation.

Yeah at that distance....it's tough lol. Even a full truckload with 36 pallets (18 spots all double stacked) the distance might be too much to make $ sense.

Pricing updated

Prices updated

Have a new outlet for Cu wire Cat-5 and below. Will wait a moment to ensure sustainability before adjusting public pricing but if you have a good quantity hit me up. On wire cat-5 and below might be able to go as much as .12/lb higher than the prices above (as of 28 July 2020)

Changed the definition of a fingercard as I can sell all but the ones with the largest heatsinks and fans as fingercards. The top picture here I cannot buy as a fingercard. The bottom five are clean fingercards for me.

Pricing updated

Updated non-ferrous pricing and gave a little bump to power boards and low-grade boards. Couple examples accurate as of 15 Oct:

Bare bright: $2.59
Romex: $1.41
6063 Bare: $.53
Red brass: $1.75
Power boards: $.25
Low grade boards: $.21

If you have full gayloards of any commodity or over 10,000lbs of a commodity can always give a price bump!

While I would very much like to buy your materials, you can always email me just to get a nice PDF price sheet to use to argue up your local pricing if mine is significantly higher for non-ferrous! So....sell to me! Or at least threaten to!

Careful with this approach, I've seen people get banned from the yard (or at least warned about getting banned from the yard) for trying to complain/compare prices. I once mentioned how the wire I had once usually get classified as a higher grade and I get $x price for it at another yard and the guy said "number one rule at scrap yards is don't complain about the price or try to haggle, if my manager heard you say that he would have kicked you out of here" .... which seems like B.S. but.... just something that happened not sure if it's actually true. Ive also seen this same place say if you don't like our prices take your stuff somewhere else and refuse to accept a load from someone after he was hemming and hawing over the price. So... idk., just saying. And both these occurances were at the largest yard in the area, so that may have had something to do with it (they have the best prices on steel and shred it onsite, but not so much best prices on non-ferrous)

This might be a problem if you bring in small quantities. But I don't see it as likely if you have enough material that it would make sense to ship freight anyway.

All scrap yards try to do is play is "short man syndrome". Tell them to pound sand and walk away. It's the same as people out here on the forum. They all want to be a big dog, knowing no one will call their bluff.

I just went through this 3 weeks ago. Had a pile of lead. I just kept stacking, never did bother to weigh it. I figured I'd only sell 20-50 lbs at a crack. Had 3 buyers @ 50. Then a guy said he'd take all I had. So I rounded it all up. weighed it, told him I had 550 lbs with his name on it. Lot of back pedaling with that big number. If you're gonna think you can play with the big dogs, be prepared to play.

Now accepting CRTs for free. Any quantity you can ship I can handle so if you can charge a disposal fee that is more than what it costs to ship them to me that's $ for you.

Pricing updated. A few examples:

Bare bright: $2.70
Electric Motors: $.17
Yellow brass: $1.69
Stainless 316: $.59
Mid-grade/peripheral circuit board mix: $1.85

As always I can give a nudge with large quantities.

Pricing updated. Big copper jump this weekend so it's a good day to sell! Some example below:

Bare bright: $3.00/lb
Romex: $1.69
Stainless 18-8/304: .39
Copper transformers: .29
6063 Bare: .59
