    Al breakage and stainless breakage

    What's everyone getting for aluminum breakage 50%? The yard that I use that typically pays more for non-ferrous only pays .05/lb - same as scrap (aka. "shred"). They actually pay less than that for stainless breakage (stainless with iron) .04/lb .

    Found that out the hard way the other day. I am just happy I have a bunch of copper I still need to sell - I just haven't had time. I did have some batteries and ferrous with that load and I actually got more for the non-ferrous than the ferrous - bunch of BMW batteries, a BMW door and some other BMW auto parts from my BMW mechanic/hobbyist ex-scrapper contact (he even had it sorted for me and I didn't ask him to - it was awesome and I am grateful).
