That's all really low. I'd find a different yard if you have any others in your area

I need to find a new yard....
Aluminum is 0.47 lb
And I wanted to check and see what they'd give me for a power supply.... 0.20 lb...
after seeing what they're paying for power supplies I'll stick to selling circuit boards to home refiners.

Send "Trinketdan" a PM and ask where he takes his stuff. He's from Centerville and my brother. He might have know a place up around DM. He's not on here everyday, but he'd get the PM when he logs on.Originally Posted by dherik
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

hey Dee Im in Nw florida. what yard do you use, I have been using Panhandle converter in dothan for non faris and emfinger for iron.

I'm up here around Ames and they are paying .40 for alum and only .60 for insulated cables that I cut all the ends off of etc.

HUH ?????(think home improvement)Would you like to share your price details so I'll think something about you regarding some deals.
|

they'res two places to go to in Des Moines, Alter, and Scrap Processors. Last time I took in Aluminum it was 74 cents, and I think #2 copper was 3.00, and that was to Alter.
If you call them they'll give you their pricing over the phone.
