Tried a new yard while in the south chicagoland region

Well I live 55 miles south of chicago but I was doing a job up in the south region roughly 12 miles south of downtown.

The prices I got that day were

$200/ton for steel
$0.08/LBs for Lead Acid Battery

Now the steel is right in the dot just looking at it from price stand point, but the Lead acid was extremely low. Now back to the steel, I brought in a small 215LBs load, measured in small sections on my 50LBs digital scale. That should equate to roughly $21.50 or so. Their scales marked it at 100LBs, which is way off.

Seeing as how to scale was off a lot more than the yards Im use too and the lead acid being lower then steel pricing. I will never use this yard again.

American Scrap Metal off 147th and Pulaski Rd.

American Scrap Metal is off 127th and Pulaski Rd. lol, i go past there everyday on my way to metro on 134th and western. metro is paying 230 a ton and $7.00 for batteries. The only thing i don't take to metro is brass they only pay 1.05lb. i go to indiana and get 1.79 for yellow and 1.95 for red.

I also got .38# for lead acid batteries down here in Tampa.
