Is steel worth scrapping?

I have a 16ft flatbed trailer that I use to store shred (after I process it, removing the wiring harness, etc) until it is full, then I haul it 4 miles to my yard. I do not go more than a couple of miles out of my way from work to home to pick stuff up, so for me it is worth it.



The owner of the yard told me a week ago that he and 4 other yard owners talked, and they all agree that there should be a pretty good rise in commodities by the summer, so I am hoarding all my non-ferrous until this summer. And like the OP, I have plenty of storage space on my property.
