I was expecting to turn them into my yard as dirty brass. They told me they would take them as CBM at .05 per pound so I don't collect them anymore.
If you have time, punch out the center coax and then they'll go as regular brass.Quote:

Most are Brass
That seems crazy. They aren't even close to being motors lol. Guess it doesn't surprise me though. My yard gave me steel price for flyback transformers last week lolQuote:

Copper Content $.12 lb

And 19 scrap yards here between 5 and 18 miles away! Closer ones don't pay as well LOL!
Main one I go to is less than 2 minutes away from my house so it's convenient but I've been wanting to try out the other 2 hereQuote:

Point being, whenever you're talking grade / classification, sometimes it's not only the particular yard itself, it's different folks at the yard.
At the yards use, I do my best to only sell non ferrous when the non ferrous manager in on the scale. That way I am graded the same every time and he has the most authority to adjust pricingQuote:
