Just a three day shutdown and it really backed things up at San Pedro and Long Beach!
    It was the day before my post. Prices are still holding at the same.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    If the appliances are whole, there has to be more than $40.00 of non-ferrous in a ton of appliances. Sounds like a pile of money could be made. Strip the non-ferrous and leave the shred be until prices eventually rebound.

    After you told me it was $60/Ton, my friend came over and reported that Pacific was $50/Ton. Three prices now! So I called and jokingly ask the same yard guy, "Why did you lie to me?" He apologized and said he had Motherboard on the brain.
    I've been meaning to tell you that you were right and that I'll be getting my reports from Wyoming from now on.

    That strategy will result in prices every few weeks- at best!

    I take scrap there to pay my gas to go to Billings. Sadly, the $7 I received for the last load isn't really worth it!

    Ouch! That is brutal, matador. It's still an hour drive for me. I'm actually closer to Wyoming than I am to Billings. But I try to go at least once a month...depending on prices. HAA!

    my main yard is about 1 mile from me and on the same street I do alot of shopping and errands, so I took some steel barrels and other misc steel with a few samples of wire to see what prices are.

    good thing, as I found out much of my bare bright copper stripped wire has some copper/steal wire that a magnet stuck to. so I took it back home to get to work taking out the magnetic parts


    steel is down to 100/ton from 140/ton a month ago here in chicago

    #2 copper up to 1.95 from 1.80 a month ago

    Hobo - That's a nice little perk your yard has, a good thing for you to use to your advantage (like brown boards). So when you subtract the dime perk, has your cooper/brass scrap gone up or down in last month? Thanks for sharing your prices from most recent scrap sale.

    Thanks Hobo - Just been trying to keep up with direction coppers is going. Nothing better then getting feedback from a scrapper. As we all know copper peaked about this same time four years ago (March 2011). Most of 2011 it stayed above $4 per pound (market spot price). Overall copper has had a linear downward trend since the start of 2012. Hit a five year low last week of January of this year ( we all felt that), below $2. 50 per pound. Has been trending up last six weeks, with a $.30 gain since that five year low in January.

    As a scrapper we won't see much of a price increase (if any), with only a $.30 market spot price increase. I do think it has hit it's low and is going to settle in and stabilize somewhere around $2.90 for remainder of this year. Stability is the best thing we can "Hope" for.

    I still holding my #1 Copper, but will sell some #2 Cu, brass and insulated this week and will post my numbers here.

    Sold some #2 Cu, Yellow Brass, Stainless Steal, Cast Aluminum and CRV Plastic Pete today. The #2 Cu was up five cents from three weeks ago, got $2.05 today. That's better than prices in February ($1.95 then), so slightly up, but only half of spot market gains. Yellow brass was $1.45 today, that's same price for last 12 weeks. SS was only $.40 today that's down five cents from last month. Cast aluminum $.55 the same price for last four months. CRV plastic PETE is $1.16 also unchanged. So overall just OK, thankful that copper has stopped going down!
