A few prices from today's small load

Sheet Iron $245.00/gt
#2 Copper Wire $2.65/lb
#2 Insulated Wire Low Recovery $.70/lb
Old Sheet Aluminum $.59/lb
Electric Motors $.27/lb
Bare Bright Wire $2.95/lb

Very happy with sheet iron, hoping to see electric motors go up though.

Geting .20 for electric motors here..id be happy with that price...

Transformers were .26 last week..wish I could mix em

Motors and transformers pay the same here.

$225.00 GT for steel - up! Nice!

Copper was $3.00 lb last week and its down to $2.80 lb this week (well, on Tuesday anyways)

#2 low grade wire .75 lb

yellow brass $1.80lb

Our shred went up to $.09 a lb, from $.075/lb. Nice little raise on that... but copper prices dropped a dime per pound, across the board.

Wolf, I never know what or when steel will rise but last time it was that high by me was January of last year!

I think Brojer mentioned he was now getting ten cents a pound at his yard (he's just a bit east of me, I think). Hopefully you will see a bump in your shred prices soon, New.

I haul about 800-1000 lbs a week of shred across the scale, so it was a small, but noticeable, little bump.

Were getting 250/Ton for steel and .22 for electric motors on the south side of Chicago. #2 Ins wire is up at .98 from .93 first jump on ins wire in over a year.

I'm so envious of most of the steel prices I see on here. By me, cars are $135, shred/tin is $130, prepared/#1 is $160, and clean auto cast is $180. Only way I can get more is to save up enough to ship out an entire truckload at once, and that's just not doable for me right now.

Ouch! I thought I was hard done by. Shred is $165 a metric tonne ($0.075/ lb) down here.

Where are you located?
And what does gas cost?

Just curious
