Copper up as well as steel

According to the scrap metal forum FB page, copper prices are up by .07 cents and steel prices are about to rise later this month.

thought id share this good news :)

That's awesome to hear, got lots sitting around to turn in. Even here in PA, i have seen prices of steel and copper go up. Time to go turn in a scrap load!

Good news. I will probably bring some in this weekend.

yeah my per ton on cars went up $10.00

There page said steel will go up towards tje end of the month i believe. Just a heads up guys!!

cars/shred went up $20 here yesterday

I just took in a bit of copper to the yard;
Bare Bright, - 2.85 lb.
Clean #2, - 2.65 lb.

Scrap Metal Price, Pricelist - Metalcorp NZ

Current NZ prices per kg

NZ$225 for heavy metal insize and
NZ$170 for lightgauge sheet (per Ton)

NZ$6.47 for #2 Copper per Kg and
NZ$1.21 for Ali Domestic per Kg

Though I'd expect to get $6.70 for #2 Copper and $1.50 for Ali domestic at my yard at the moment.

I'm taking in quite a lot of nonferrous within the next two weeks.
Over 100Kg Copper #2,
100Kg odd Copper domestic/burnt.
5-6 sacks @30Kg each of Ali various

I swap my iron with a guy so I can get into his metal collection and scrap it down and keep the nonferrous.
That way he gets a helper for free and I get free nonferrous and he actually makes on the deal since I replace more iron by weight than I take away in nonferrous..
Also, because I am at his yard, it helps stop people from dumping rubbish and stealing the metal in it.
Though we still have a problem with 'rats'.
But we know who most of the rats are..
We are doing something soon to get rid of them, about the same time as when I cash up my nonferrous.

Oh, the NZ dollar is worth about 90 cents American.

Bare bright at $ 2.91 here in Chicago. I got $3.02 because I had 300 pounds+
