Didn't realize prices went up and got burned at 2.40 a pouind for #2 last week beware of lowballers when the price is going up everywhere else. I would mention them by name but I guess that wouldn't be cool on this site.
3.10 today for #1 copper!

My yard here in Milwaukee, WI is for the most part is solid at 2.80 a pound for #2. When it dropped from 2.85 a couple of months ago, the price on yellow brass jumped .20 too 1.85.
Go figure that?

Finally, Finally,Finally, found over $3 lb. $3.04 at a yard on the west side. It would be worth the extra half hour to and from my usual yard to make up to both the $2.40 lowballers at the yard 5 minutes away and my usual yard 20 minutes away. I've been saving since Jan looking for over 3$.

Yup. Montana sucks for recycling. Must me lower because of the transportation costs. And there is no compition here. There is not another scrap yard for ninety miles and it is of the same chain.

Today in rural MN #1 insulated is $1.20, #2 clean $2.05, #2 insulated (they called it Harnesses) $0.80.
15 miles to the yard for me, the closest big market yards are four hours away so actually considering all I am happy with it.
The rest of the break down:
Yellow brass (clean) $1.45
Brass breakage (coated yellow brass) $0.32
AL cast $0.43
Shred (they call it P&S unprepared) $160.00/NT
