    That's better than the prices I was just recently quoted from a place in Middlesex, VT. They were trying to pay me .25 lb for 33% recovery insulated, same as comm. I'm guessing they dont have the facilities to "strip" their own wire.
    Is this anywhere near central VT?

    I've only seen one real wire stripper In vt. ..and he only deals with copper and I'm not gonna make special copper drives. How far you from hinesburg.. shop around and call. I've notice big price different from yard to yard

    If you don't mine me asking what are your prices over there. I know prices are low everywhere but if I have a good load it may be worth it

    long time since I've posted. update on Vermont pricing. coppers the best its been in a while, but steel is just...well turd.
    10/31/13

    bb copper: $2.90
    #2 copper: $2.70
    sheet alum: $0.40
    #2 wire: $0.70
    electric mtr: $0.15
    cpr/alum raid: $1.20
    sheet steel: $0.065
    #1 prep steel: $0.085
    alum can's $0.06 per can(state deposit lol)

    I've realized that each yard pays good on a couple things, like sheet alum...3 places each different .25,.30,.40 all within 30 mile ratios.

    Was just up there this weekend ran up 112 to rt 9 from Mass. saw a few car yard advertising $200.00 for scrap cars.. I know down here they are giving owners 300 - 400 for the car then they scrap it so they must be getting at least 500-600 for the vehicles I would assume never looked into scrapping a vehicle..
    I know the other prices are close to NJ prices..
