Was getting $90 a ton about a month back, is down to $60 a ton. How are the prices doing everywhere else?
I was at $120/ton 3 weeks ago and dropped to $90 when I took a tiny run in last Thursday.. so I suppose it is!
$58 a net ton here since January
We finally climbed UP to $60 a ton last month. I got rid of it all before it dropped again. It's back down to $50 now.

Our prices have stayed steady for the last couple of months but we dont know how much longer there going to stay that way. Prices are valid as of 9/21 I just visited both scrap yards with light iron in the last 3 days.
I'm not picking up anything that's mostly tin. Its just left overs from ac units, computers, water coolers, microwaves etc.. Occasionally some one will drop off a water heater, W/D or fridge when I'm not home I just strip it and throw it on the trailer. haul it in only when its full. Once a month or so. its either that or PAY to take it to the dump.......
Prepared iron $30/ ton
Unprepared is $15/ ton includes Vehicles
Shred......no value; you can drop it off but won't get paid.
I bought a running Mazda with a battery today for $30. The tires go back to the owner. Has electrical drain on the battery and tranny shifter sticks at times.
Nebraska (The Good Life) :D
Vermont (or my section of it) is coming in at about $.025/# but that was from a load a couple of weeks ago. We have another going in, tomorrow morning, and it may have dipped further.
Our yard seems to use "shred" and "lite iron" interchangeably.
