My quote for my load tomorrow was 170/Ton. Kind of disappointing.
Anyone in Denver doing better?

I'm just glad the yards are less than 3 miles from my usual pickup sites.
Called the yard today down to $150 net ton for sheet iron
shred at $175 ton in kansas city, $180 in topeka
Street price is about $140 right now.
125 a ton today .055 a pound. Poor summer pricing.
Looking more and more like this is bigger than a "summer price drop"
Hope your wrong bout that hobo
Wow are those prices pretty crappy. Were getting 210 a ton for shred all month for May on the south side of Chicago. June prices are probobly ganna drop lower
This may be true but our cost of living is lower and I feel comfortable traveling with just one clip instead of a handful. ;-}Quote:

so how do retail sales affect scrapping / scrap prices? well people are fixing stuff and holding off major purchases rather than buying new stuff, so less scrap is being produced and there is less demand for scrap
the current worldwide economic depression (not a recession, this has gone on for over 10 years now) , means low demand for steel
Talking another 15 a ton off for next month! Looks like I'll be taking off til prices come back. oh well, good fishing round here I've heard!
Here in Lampasas TX it is $170.00 ton but the yard is 15 miles away or I can go to the yard here in town and get paid $160.00 a ton. I was told they will have to go down soon but don't know when.
We are at 150/ton today to unofficially start June.
I may starve to death... :(
Im just happy I can make extra $ scrapping...shred has been big for me since getting a truck, but I still depend on my copper..that is my biggin..
Steel prices down another $30 today from 1 1/2 weeks ago. Tin @ $90 / ton, prepared steel @ $145. *Sniff...sniff* :(
we went back up this week to 8 dollars per 100 on shred and 10 dollars per hundred on short iron/prepared plate. motor cast clean is 12 dollars per hundred and dirty is 10.50 per hundred
The president is meeting with the leaders of China or something like that this may have been affect on our prices.
