    If you had enough stuff of all values you could do a road trip to Waukegan, IL. The map shows 6 1/2 hours there, don't know if there's an escrap buyer any closer or not. Where is Hoss and Tater selling their escrap???

    Check with your local yards....Some will at least let u throw the low grade boards off as shred.......Unless you have several tons I don't think they are worthing taking to far or shipping out

    There is nowhere you could "send" your low grade to that would be profitable shipping is going to eat up the profit portion.

    brown, or green, as far as i've seen, not sure though, and i know this doesn't rhyme, but the green ones might be, if they're good enough to be considered mid-grade

    I use the low grades as "gas money" for when I'm delivering a much better load of computer scrap. But their right, it would not pay to ship low grade only. You might want to look around you area at the local scrapyards and see what prices they'll pay for low grade.
