Point being, whenever you're talking grade / classification, sometimes it's not only the particular yard itself, it's different folks at the yard.
    At the yards use, I do my best to only sell non ferrous when the non ferrous manager in on the scale. That way I am graded the same every time and he has the most authority to adjust pricing

    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.
