Well, at least on shred. Just got back from the yard. Took in 1800lbs. Mostly computer carcasses, striped printers and some misc yada yada
Still at 205.00 a ton
Taking a load of non-ferrous tomorrow...I hope.
Will update with those prices.
Have a good day! BroJer
I wished we were at 205/ton for shred here in the midwest!
Good to hear the prices are holding. I was expecting a drop in July. Dumping off some shred tomorrow. Hope its holding or went up

Last time I called around for steel pricing (indeed was last fall, but steel hasn't changed much around Wichita since then), the best I found was 175/t, but that wasn't for shred.
There is a new yard in my town (scrap management) that set up right next to the biggest yard in town . Their pricing is better on almost everything. To get better pricing on shred find out where the smaller yards are taking theirs to. The yards in wichita take their scrap to the two big yards in north wichita. If your at the yard long enough youll see the trucks from other yards pulling in. if your getting 150 to 170 for shred in wichita then your selling to someone who is selling to the yards with the shredder. Cut out the middle man and get more for your shred.
Pacific has their own shredder and I get $140/ton.
Too bad that's bout 3 hours away from me !Quote:

As much scrap as you go through they might do a pick up or place a dumpster. I would call cause they might have other customers in the area since they work throughout the midwest. They are a really big company with locations in kc and st. joe and a second location coming soon to wichita with a mega shredder.Quote:

I know who you're talking about MER, saw the Wichita Business Journal writeup ;) They were the same as the place I usually go on #2 copper (which is what I was unloading the day I called them) so didn't check other stuff. I thought they might be paying higher, at least for awhile, after they opened to the public. I'll have to check with them on some other stuff when I get a load. I just hate trying out new spots. When I called about the #2 copper, the lady said, "well if the buyer grades it as #2, then the price will be $..." I know what I have, I don't need the caveat! I'm sure if there is a disagreement, then they will let me know why, and I'll either decide to sell it or try someone else. Plus it costs me $3.50 to drive there vs about $1 for my normal stop. Thanks for the heads up on them!

Lets say yesterday was a pretty good day! I do think upon review, there will be a few major changes, DOWN, when I get the updated sheet from this yard on Monday.
1.43 & 1.57 for heat-sinks??? Extrusion seems to be between 55-70 cents most places! So, will post the updated PL when I get it.
and Fudge, ole buddy, ole pal, you tryin ta tell us...that you have ... an EQUAL side? ummmmmm BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHA yea, sure, right :p
BroJer: Your prices are Great! Man I wish that price wind would push a high pressure system up here. I called my local non-ferrous yard yesterday to ask what they were paying for #2 Insulated Copper: .75/lb.. which is UP from .70. But .75/lb?!?! What a load of crap!
And yes I do have an equal and Stable Side.. Really.. Honestly... For Sure I do!!!
