So XYZ company is the main yard it is in Northern Indiana. They have an XYZ named "feeder yard" that buys material and it ships to the XYZ main yard shredder up north.

I also have another yard- lets call it "ABC" that is not an XYZ yard but upsells all its material to XYZ- they usually pay about $10 to $20 less per ton than the XYZ feeder yard would.





So technically both are "feeder yards" one is a company named feeder yard and the second is more like a customer of XYZ.

Just wondering if it were logical to take your material to the yard with the actual shredder- if you would get paid better as it is "further up the supply chain" to the mill?
