    cheers, im getting $4.6 for my burnt copper (out of motors) and .75c for my cast ally and $1.5 for my low grade wire, .70 for my stainless
    $1 for extrude ally. mamaged to fit it all in one ute load, also $3.5 for brass whick i got abit of the s/s sinks. copper was out of 2 old instant hot water units and air cons..
    So, when you're saying $4.60 for copper, you're probably measuring it in kilograms, correct? Your $4.60 divide by 2.2 would be about 2.09 a pound here. Take your Aussie dollar value (69%) of USD and that translate to $1.44 U.S. Still, that's a lot of scrap to find in a couple hours, how many times to they do "roadside" down there, once a year...?

    we do roadside twice a year.. yeah all weights in kg. got lucky and most of it was in one spot. get a bit from the tip every now and again, $1 per sink and ill only grab the ones with any brass fittings on them so its adds up. but almost at the end now and getting scarce...
