Big price differences here between yards. Last week, called 3 yards located with 40 minutes of my house. Light iron prices were 2.2, 3.5 and 4 cents a pound. Checked 2 of the big players and their prices at ther yards were 3 (sims new haven, ct) and 5.6 (

All of my non ferrous is getting stockpiled. Shred is the only thing I'm still taking in since I don't have storage space for much.

I just took in a load this morning and got .0325/lb. Would have waited, but the wife wanted the yard cleaned up some more.

Are you close to SC state line? Better pricing in SC if you are close enough and/or makes sense.

The lady at the desk said that they can ship steel to China, have it refined and produced and ship it back here as product for less than it takes to keep the entire process here...so that certainly isn't helping.

EPA, Labor Laws and so much more here... Ship unloads Walmart and Target stock for the shelves here, fill it up with Americas used metal, paper and plastic discards. Take back to China. Then China sends it back as new products!

Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of NC, so it is about a four hour round trip to the SC state line for me. I don't have enough/have a trailer to make that trip.

115/Ton, Chicago South Side

Down to $95/ton today.

$50 per ton Northern Calif. Local yard. Minimum 300 lbs to get $ (in cash)

Local Sims is a pita Minimum 500 lbs, otherwise its classed as a "donation ! ) Paid by check only.

Thankfully, I don't do much metal collecting.

Got $45 a ton yesterday, Called today and now $40! As I have said before at these prices the shred's not gonna be too clean! LOL

I got good intel last week that steel should have reached it's bottom. A climb will be very slow as everyone that lost money on the dropping market will have to recoup before they climb, or as they climb.
local markets will fluctuate, if the mill your scrap is going to has not picked up orders, your price will stay down or even slip some until things get rolling.

I saw a SS DW the other night and was going to go back to get it, but it was late and I decided it wasn't worth the trouble. In the 10 cents a pound day I would have carried it on my back.

I'd love to get 0.48 for cans

$.03/# for lite iron, $.08#/dirty Al, $.22/# clean Al, and $.30/# for string lights, as of this morning.
