    For all you new scrappers its not all about copper!

    When I first started I would pass up steel, not worth it I would say, but things change...
    So far here are my %'s over 8 years!
    Steel 79% of weight and 39% of cash
    Aluminum 9% of weight 28% of cash
    Copper 8% of weight 22% of cash
    Brass, lead, stainless and zinc 3% of weight, 8% of cash
    Glass, Plastic and Cardboard 1% weight and 2% cash
    E waste >1% waste and 2% cash
