    Sheet prices the best they have been in a while!

    Good morning everyone!
    We have a 80yd container that we fill every two weeks. I just got the check from our last container...They paid me 220/GT! I called to confirm that this was correct, and they said yes. I email the owner to confirm because I still thought something was wrong- And he also confirmed it!
    So hopefully we see this to continue moving. Everyone keep your heads up through this downfall. I have watched 6 scrapyards within a 50 mile radius shut down this year. We are nearing our 4th year in business and its not easy with the prices the way they are. Stand tall and always look for the positive with every situation and you will be surprised where it will take you.\
    Have a good weekend everyone!

    That is a nice bump.. Lets hope the "peddler rate" for all of us follows. Great news though.. Trending in the right direction!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
