These are my prices as of today. I get an extra 5 cents on the pound on non ferrous and $10 /ton extra on ferrous. Even with that, prices still suck.

Plus they are giving 10 cents a pound for all escrap. I take the boards out of stuff, any low grade stuff goes to them. I even take the boards off of hard drives and other disk drives. They get the drives with no boards. That's better than shred and better than irony aluminum prices.

Also, car bodies are $115/nt. If I come across a car, I usually fill it to the brim with any and everything I can find that would be shred,( they will buy it all as car bodies).
