Every yard is different depending on their position in the chain of command. Imagine the scrap buying community as a tree and you are one of the top branches. As metal moves down the line, it is sorted more to maximize profits. Any time you have pure non ferrous metals it is best to sell it as far down towards the roots as you can. Standard prepared or unprepared does not gain much value as it moves down the chain, each root only separates it more. The goal is to get the purest metal to the core of the earth. Did you know there is over 100 types of stainless alone?
The more categories a yard expects, the closer you are to the roots.
Contacts in Nebraska that are further down the tree are available if you P.M. me.
