I am going to sit on my aluminum for a good while it seems. IF I can keep the thieves out of it, that is.

Heavy Melt has actually went up at my local yard. HM was $0.055lb now it is $0.075lb. Being that I get way more HM than anything else, that increase put a huge smile on this poor country boy's face.

Be Safe out there!!!
So let me get this straight...

Your yard pays $0.90 a lb. for refrigerators (as you stated in a previous post) and they pay you $0.75 a lb. for heavy melt? By my calculations you are making $1,500 a ton on your HMS and $1,800 a ton on fridges. Sorry buddy but I am gonna have to call shenanigans! Show me some proof or at least give me the company name so I can have ALL of my yards ferrous material shipped there ASAP.
