Why is it the prices down in Fla. always seem higher than anywhere else in the country?
Because you have deep water ports
We are down $10 to $165NT on sheet iron at the yard closest to me. There is a yard a few miles away (about 15 miles) paying $180, but it isn't worth the gas to go down for my weights.
#1 ICW 70% is still at 1.60/lb
car/truck batteries still at $0.20/lb.
St. Pete. Fl. Stripped 15# of copper 1 last night only to discover the price dropped over the weekend from 2.80# to 2.60#.
Prices have stayed the same where i am at on the Michigan/Ohio border.
Well here it is, the end of Oct. and my prices went from 165 per ton to 207 per ton. For shred that is.
And it seems like the closer you get to the port the higher the prices get. That's why I bring alot of scrap to Tampa.Quote:
