    #2 Copper: $2.30
    Clean Al: $.40-.50
    Insulated: $.60-1.40 (no house wires so probably more like .60-.80

    Probably pretty good Lower than I got the other day, but that for volume. That's why questions like that are really tricky. I sold over 400 pounds of copper and 340 pounds of Insulated.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Prices here in Northern PA have been on an idle standstill for about a month or so. Very similar prices to you but +0.10 on #2 copper. @jw7783 can't beat roadside copper!!

    Last week I got:
    $1.00 /lbs #2 insulated
    $0.70 /lbs communication wire
    $0.50 /lbs alum cans (Price went from .45 to .50 with 50+ lbs.)
    $150 /ton computer shells (shred)

    EDIT:
    Just thought i'd add....
    Don't forget to call around for prices!!!!
    I always drive an extra 30 miles to get these prices. The yard closer to home quoted me:
    .80 /lbs #2 insulated
    .50-.60 /lbs communication wire
    .40 /lbs alum cans, with no price break for bulk.
    $90 /ton shred

    The aluminum here seems a bit lower, but it's what I got last time for clean and they let me throw my dirty Al in with it. Sweet!
