    If you scrap them they are not shredd. I repeat they are not shredd. They are one and half bundle material. They should be sold to a scrap yard that has a baler or else you are getting ripped off. There is at least a 100 dollar a ton difference. Shredd is the lowest price you can get at the yard number one bundle material is a grade below clip.

    I've never heard of that before! Is it because they are sort of like a large sheet?

    That's how the scrap yards make there money. If you deal in great volume most all yards give more for the number one bundle material. Most yards don't or wont tell you that and people don't know to ask. The key to get more money is volume and clean material that's no plastic alum. foam. Most all your larger yards have balers and are making bundles and you wont get a better price unless you have a lot of material PistonScrap is right file boxes are a whole lot better than shred there some of the best steel there is.
