    That could be a problem for sure. I haven't seen any tightening like that down here yet.

    I don't want to sound like a dishonest scrapper but it takes away some of my leverage . They play games all the time and i am not getting into it. But finding those items was always easy and it has metal . I figure the yard wants to not have to deal with the fluff so they save some money on the disposal of fluff , what I feel a bit annoyed at is I still see the game on there end and for me no way to even it out . I feel if they want 99.9% metal then I want 99.9% no games

    They are trying to maximze their return up the ladder on your back. That is business but at that point, if your a big enough customer, you need to negotiate a bit better price per pound than typical "shred" or you need to shop your goods to a more competitive yard.
