these are the ones i remember off the top of my head. ended up getting $118
i also got about 20 pounds of stainless but its magnetic... should i just throw it in with my tin pile? i heard the non magnetic stuff is the stuff they want

Just took a load today and got a price sheet. Examples:
#1 Copper - $3.25
#2 Copper - $3.10
#1 Steel - 0.13
Tin - 0.0950
thanks mick and the irrationalist. I went to a yard in newport maine instead of the one in glenburn (which i usually go to) both are almost exactly the same distance away from my place... the prices were just a little bit better there on some things
thanks vamped, yeah there holding...for now hopefully they go up up up! lol.Quote:

63 lb 316 stainless @ $1.00 / lb = $63
1,040 lb. #1 prepared steel @ $16 / 100 lb = $166.40
1,300 lb. light iron @ $12.50 / 100 = $162.50
280 lb aluminum siding, gutters, angles & plate @ $0.65 / lb = $182
100 lb electric motors @ $0.25 / lb = $25
Grand Total = $598.90. :) Now, I just need to get the volume up so I can take a load like this every day. :p
Just out of curiosity, what was the 316 from?Quote:
