Enough is Enough With the Local Scrap Yards!

Hey everyone, I hope your weekend was better than mine. I decided to take my scrap wire into the only recycle center in town with an on site granulator. Being that they have a granulator I was fully expecting them to have the best prices in town. After all, they are the end user other than a refiner. To my utter and complete surprise my 250 pounds of #2 insulated wire was downgraded to low grade wire. Instead of getting the expected $0.40/lb that the other yards were paying I got a measly $0.15/lb. By the time I realized the price it was too late. Needless to say I will officially be beginning the process of designing and building my own wire granulator out of peer and utter spite and because I can. When the project is done I will be starting to buy wire at prices higher than every yard in the city. It just upsets me when the yard that has the equipment to process wire and claims to have "the best nonferrous prices in the area" would utterly screw people over on their wire. * end rant
