Some Prices in Oregon on 7/25

Went in with a small load today (I am a small players for those who haven't read my intro)

31lb Bright Wire = 3.00/lb =93
80 lbs Lt Contaminated 6063 Aluminum = .55/lb = 44
10 lbs PC Power Supplies .30/lb = 3
19lbs #2 Insulated 1.0/lb = 19

The last time I was in was June 12th. Aluminum and Copper prices are the same as then.
I haven't shopped around, all the other yards are and additional 7+ miles from me so with my small quantities I'd just waste it all in gas. But at least gives folks a reference.

Thanks for the prices. I was just calling around for escrap prices and a place in Hillsboro is paying $4.00lb for high grade motherboards and .28cents a lb for whole computers

Messaged you to find out who, motherboards were 3.05 per pound there

Yesterdays prices in Bend were dismal
Al ext .46
Al cast .44
Al Sheet .40
SS (304) .40
Yellow brass 1.85
#1 copper 2.75
#2 copper 2.60
elec motors .15
transformers .25
#2 insul wire .90
low grade wire .25
insul copper wire 1.20
tin/light iron 115.00/ton

Was running our of room so had to unload.

silver do they require yellow and red brass seperation? I have to poke at that yet at my yard. Haven't taken brass in. They are so big I try and only ask one or two questions each time I go. The guys all around me had 5K plus loads to my 159...lol

silverz and gord those prices seem pretty similiar to us in massaschusetts except that 115/ton light iron is ridiculously low, 205 here, the only real problem is there is really only 1 ewaste buyer out of like 8 yards in the same general area, and ive never tried them out

We are 180/ton around me...I just called.

Not sure. This is only my second load and I haven't had any other brass. I had to ask a lot of questions about sorting. They weren't very busy so they had time to train me.

Lucky you. I haven't been able to find an e-scrap buyer within 100 miles yet. There are some in the Portland area but they don't come close to the buyers on this forum.

Im waiting to hear back from Street Sweeper as those are some pretty good motherboard prices compared to my normal yard. Might be a good place :)
