My guess would be it is due to the fact that most scrappers do not know the value of zinc, and so just take what the yard is paying, since that is what they have been paying for some time. Value 1.00 and paying .25. That would be like copper at 3.00 and them only paying .75. Someone please enlighten me.
Where I work ZINC ANODES are considered hazardous and treated as such, could be the controls you need that makes it sell for less?
