    Depends on what I have. Mainly CFS or Desert Metals. CFS has a bonus punch program after 10 trips you get a + $.10 bonus pricing on the next load. So that's when I bring in a big load of mostly low value stuff, Christmas lights, coax cable, copper content, dirty alum, dirty steel, low grade circuit boards as the extra $.10 a pound helps a lot. Also different yards buy different items JVMetals buys propane tanks. Also lots of places buying plastic, glass and alum cans (but prices have been falling quickly).
