Given the market, why are the newest scrappers even bothering?

I see people going in the scrap yard with 150# shred, or maybe one dryer. They don't know where to go in the yard so it looks like it's their first time. Go to the window and get paid $3.00. I half chuckle. It's a learning process.

But then again, getting paid +$3 is better than paying -$10 disposal fee.
