same here record profits with so many dropping out because of a lack of knowledge or lack of wanting to actually work hard but there is so much out there right now trying to collect is getting even harder to do. gas prices are making it even easier to travel farther to pick stuff up today they dropped to $2.17gal I take all my light tin/scredd local here at a penny a pound and after overhead I make about $4avg trckld and its unlimited with all of it passed by. now awhile ago I teamed up with other scrappers as prices keep dropping to work together to send out gondolas of #1steel and 2-3 heavy and still am getting 7-9cents a pound down from 10-13 but still well worth the effort.
that's just the bottom of the scale though mostly steel is just what pays for me driving around finding the better of stuff like copper alu motors and so forth. then of course the bread winner of everything is electronics from resale to scrapping theres always plenty and always so much to do
