Albany Weitsman gave me 214 for tin two days ago...I'd expect yours to follow suit soon

Straight shred. Weitsman calls it tin here. I hope they don't drop much further.

Are you on the East Coast? Prices like that here and people would be removing mailboxes, swing sets anything that they can get there hands on!

I read your article and makes sense that prices have been stagnant for months. China manipulating the market and hording to sell it back later on at a higher price then they bought it for

Western NY. People in the city are always getting their patio and porch liberated

Took a small load of pc metal and got $0.095/lb. They classified it as shreddable. Clean aluminum was @ $0.45/lb., alum. cans $0.60/lb., stainless 304 $0.40/lb.. This is in Hickory, NC.

$60 /1000 South Atlanta

Copper dropped 20 cents a lb across the board. AL seems to be the only thing staying steady. Not sure whats going on!

Has traffic at your yard dropped off any?

I stopped scrapping at 4 1/2 cents per pound. Today the price is down to 2 cents a pound.
