New to scraping, is my scrap yard screwing me?

I am pretty new to scraping, today was a lucky day for me
I found a hot water heater took it to the scrap yard with some other aluminum and got $11 in steel and $15 for aluminum

On the way home I saw some guy tearing down his aluminum shed so I stopped and asked if I could have the scrap, he said sure and also had a metal door and 4 rims

Took it to the scrap yard and got $99.40

Here is a copy of my scrap receipt from the 2nd haul, are they paying me the right prices?

oh it lets me paste

Program a couple local scrap yards #'s in your phone call around b4 u go.

not bad. like copperhound said hit up other scrap yards for prices.

What were your prices? And did they pay you for the rims seperate from your other alum?

Rims may have been steel too

It's scrapping not scraping.

better than what i'm getting on alum right now. I'm at .50.

thanks, was curious what other people were getting paid

ill try to find other yards by me and call and see what their prices are, the one i go to now is right down the road from me

thanks everyone for the reply's :)

Sigh. My clean aluminum is $0.45

um.........

clean cast AL $0.77 a lb ish
rims are not clean cast tho they go for around $0.65 a lb around here
with sheet coated AL (the shed) should be around $0.55 a lb
the steel or appliances should be 200 ish a tonne
with black (or clean tin) about 270
some yards do a mix tin price its half the diffrence
AL with iron up to 50/50 $0.17

prices should be within 10 % - 20 % of listed but they move up and down together.

maybe in CAN

cast Al by me is around the $0.55 he got, and my shred steel is about the same maybe a penny more. the AL breakage or "dirty/irony" AL is not bad at $0.15 but i think i got $0.22 last time i took some in.

you're good. take more scrap to the yard and you will start to see trends rather than worry about daily prices. good start on the $100 load.
