I Got X.XX For Shred Today - Page 10

Sheet iron $90.00 net ton. $.045 lb.
Un prepared $120.00 net ton. $.06 lb.
Clean sheet iron $135.00 net ton. $.065 lb.
Prepared $140.00 net ton. $.07 lb.

820 pounds in northeast DFW got me 41 bucks and a Chick-fil-a chicken sammich. They hand out Chick-fil-a on Saturday mornings. I don't know why... it's not like they need to incentivise people to come in that day! It's CRAZY busy!

So 5 cents a pound.

Back up to $105/ton from $95 Tuesday.

Wednesday... worst snowstorm in Denver that I can recall, not in inches of snow by a long shot, but the wind and blowing snow etc... and I have lived in the metro area since 1975. It was worse on the south and east side of town. The highway at an intersection very close to my house was closed from there to Kansas. Sadly I heard there was even one fatality.

A nickel a pound here in Dallas area today.

Had my little helper with me. She said we had to go to Sonic & get cheeseburgerz with the proceeds.

This is why a lot of companies don't post scrap prices on the net.........price can go up or down daily and no time to update site

I sent in a few spring cleaning loads and cleaned out the shop a bit. Glad to have some space back and a little fun money.

Upstate New York prices

Tin shred @ ~$0.0669 /lb

$90-$100 a ton here for scrap aka shred - down $10 a ton, also aluminum down and gasoline is still up and holding

$85/ton at the yard that was previously at $100/ton

I'm glad this last load I didn't drive more than a few miles to obtain.

In fact I might be done with this for a little while. Not sure $85/ton is worth it with fuel prices where they are.

$75/ton @ Atlas Iron & Metal of Aurora

Glad I had mostly non-ferrous - (totaled almost double in $ for what ferrous I had) and also glad I didn't use more than 2 gallons of fuel and less than an hour of my time to acquire and clean everything. No more side gig curb/Craigslist shopping for me for a while, IT consulting and e-waste it is...

Call some local scrap yards compare price quotes, then figure out how many pounds of metal and type of metal you have and go to the yard that has the best price for those items. Let us know how you did
