    Mind if I ask which yard this is? I've been looking for a good place to take batteries to and I like their price. Thanks in advance.

    KZ, are those public prices, or dealer prices? I have been taking my non ferrous, with a couple of exceptions, to Nebraska for a little less money, but it is much, much closer. The guy I sell to is a one man operation, and will soon be approaching retirement. I need to think about the future. Thanks.

    c4f5 those are public prices. If your coming down I-76, Rocky Mountain should be one of the easier yards for you to get to and the new drive thru lanes are nice and convenient.

    I checked it out on online maps, and yes, I-76 it would be. Doesn't need to happen right away, but I will need a new non ferrous buyer in the not-so-distant future. My iron, car bodies, batteries, brass radiators, cats and aluminum wheels are covered elsewhere, but everything else will need a new home. Thanks!
