    I got $0.21/ lb. last week for mine and that is with a 2 hour drive. Locally all I can get is shred price and of course I would cut the wires off. Shred is about $0.04. I made the 2 hr trip for the power supplies and because I could get more for other material. This place paid $1.05 lb for Cu/Al heat sinks which are a hard sell here local to me. The one I sold to is a Wise Recycling yard. 73, Mike

    HA HA.. sorry to anyone at "Wise Recycling" but that comment was hilarious!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
