    Any one have prices for items other than steel

    I know most of us are holding on to non ferrous items as prices are so bad, I have only turned in steel so far this year. Anyone sell anything other than steel lately?

    In Billings, Montana (As of Saturday), Dirty Aluminum is still at $0.10 per pound. Shred is at $60/Ton ($0.03 per pound).

    In Wyoming, shred is at $30 per ton. The yard will likely lower it to $20/Ton soon, though.

    Whole vehicle batteries .27/lb. Down from .34 2-3 weeks ago. I made $1.92 profit on my last load of batteries. Better than losing, but definitely my hardest-earned two bucks in recent memory!

    This is a price list from a yard at exit 1 in Clarksville and it was from last week. They update their website daily so I'll bet the prices are lower now. I only take my shred there. I use a yard in Millersville, Tn. and sell my aluminum and insulated copper there and then there is another new yard off Cowen street in downtown Nashville where I sell my #1 and #2 copper and aluminum cans. I'm not sure about Hermitage Metals but I know there is a yard off of Central Pike in Hermitage. I've never been there but I need to call and talk to them.

    I didn't sell any scrap last week, but yesterday I sold copper #2, yellow brass and #2 insulated wire. Thirty pounds of #2 copper was paid $1.95, I haven't checked my spread sheets, but think that's $.40 lower than price I got just before Christmas. Yellow brass nineteen pounds was paid $1.45. I don't need to check anything to know that is the lowest in several years! #2 insulated wire fifty one pounds and only paid $.55 a pound (very sad). Told the manager I'm going to sell half and hold half until prices on the red metals start going in the other direction. He told me copper is not bottomed out yet! I sell this same yard all of my 300 stainless and all aluminum. He said Aluminum is down a couple of pennies but holding solid.

    Tomorrow I'll make a trip to my steel yard, not ready for that disappointment. I can't see trying to hold piles of steel and darn sure can't eat it, so will need to sell and forget about once WAS! Then again five years ago we were throwing the steel away, I know that was stupid. It will be over 3,000 pounds of steel and 300 to 400 pounds of cardboard, lets see how many pennies difference between tin and cardboard. Need to sell the cardboard because there's a 30% chance of rain on Sunday. Rain is what we need more than anything, so that is good!

    Ryanw I'm a little jealous of your #2 copper and extrusion price, was that this last week? Wondering about the week, as I'm trying to gauge the effect of scrap prices, due to last weekends dock shutdowns on the west coast. Just a three day shutdown and it really backed things up at San Pedro and Long Beach!

    shred: .04 per #
    batteries: .08
    christmas lights w bulbs: .06
    comp power supplies no wire: .10
    6000 series aluminum: .50
