That's all really low. I'd find a different yard if you have any others in your area
Taking a load today....hope my yard isn't that low.
That does seem pretty low. do you have anyone else to check with?
Right now alot of yards are gonna cover their butts due to dropping prices..so im bettin thats the facts on those prices.
April & May prices by me were
#2 Copper $3.20 lb
#2 Ins copper wire $1.10 lb
Paint Alum .65 lb
MLC Alum .70 lb
Furnace Alum .30 lb
Alum Cans .70 lb
Sheet iron .0925 lb
I need to find a new yard....
Aluminum is 0.47 lb
And I wanted to check and see what they'd give me for a power supply.... 0.20 lb...
after seeing what they're paying for power supplies I'll stick to selling circuit boards to home refiners.
Right now here in northern Ind. Alum cans .80lb - #2 bare copper 3.20lb - #1 bare copper 3.60 - Batteries .30lb - brass 1.90lb
think i might look around this is the only place i ever been. getting prices from them was like pulling teeth.
Send "Trinketdan" a PM and ask where he takes his stuff. He's from Centerville and my brother. He might have know a place up around DM. He's not on here everyday, but he'd get the PM when he logs on.Quote:

Looking good Dee...prices aren't bad either!
Pretty good prices, Dee. You'll be working up to hauling iron by the ton and copper/aluminum by the hundred-pound before long
thanks KZ and Mick
hey Dee Im in Nw florida. what yard do you use, I have been using Panhandle converter in dothan for non faris and emfinger for iron.
I'm up here around Ames and they are paying .40 for alum and only .60 for insulated cables that I cut all the ends off of etc.Quote:

they'res two places to go to in Des Moines, Alter, and Scrap Processors. Last time I took in Aluminum it was 74 cents, and I think #2 copper was 3.00, and that was to Alter.Quote:
