    Sheet prices in Wisconsin

    I have a small 12 ft dump trailer. Filled it up fairly good with sheet iron from computer carcasses and microwave carcasses. Figured there was around 1 ton in it. Yard not that far away (20 min) so I ran it in. Just about laughed when he handed me $41 for 1620lbs. $60 was the net ton price.

    $41 in your pocket and an empty trailer, time to start over again!

    If you get a notion to drive down to West Allis my yard is paying .05 lb for sheet iron ($105.) ton.
    #2 copper is up to 2.25 lb

    At least you got something and got rid of the steel, to me steel is like a by product of my main profit the real profit for me is the non ferrous and e waste I take out of those things, so the empty PC cases, microwave cases, air conditioner cases, etc are like the left overs plus whatever other steel items I throw in since I take in steel anyway.

    I agree with you 100%. Sheet was usually cash for a nice dinner with the wife. I guess it will be McDonald's til prices come up. Lol��
