$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.
Over $210 ton is what the big yards are getting. Gold at 1.283 and holding steady. Copper at 264 a little wavy . Aluminum 1910 ton but most yards are only paying .30 .50 makes me wonder.

Over $210 ton for what kind of steel? And is this a metric, gross or net ton price? Same questions for the Aluminum and what type?
Gross ton (long ton) 2240 lbs.
Metric ton (tonne) 2205 lbs.
Net ton (short ton) 2000 lbs.
