I will be at the scrap yard this week. I will ask the guy who runs it. He has a good handle on what is happening in the industry and the current pricing. Since California is the only state involved that is really no suprise. That state has been very restrictive on everything for ever. Remember California has a governent that has no feelings about crushing old 60's Chevelles and Camaros as part of their car buy back program to cut emissions. When the fed's threaten to withhold funds that's when the California's legislature tightens everything up. Every state has the ability to enforce the laws on the books and that includes restrictions on appliance recycling. Here in the Phoenix area it's business as usual. I think Arizona feels if it did tighten up on recyclers stuff that used to pay by the ton and have lots of haulers would pile up and not be hauled away at all.
