Ran in a load of cast iron, all steel grades up another 10/ton.
Shred 100/ton
Cast 110/ton
Sioux City yard is up to $90/ton
$120 a ton here if you have more than one ton. Have to wear a face mask everywhere on their lot. It sucks unloading steel wearing a face mask.
They reduced their hours.
But at least they are open. Place was closed for quite a while.
Sioux City is still at $90/ton but they're expecting prices to go down next month
I seen American scrap metal in Alsip Ill is down to 80/ton on their FB page. Went to the only yard open on sundays and they are still at 100/ton.
Sioux City holding at $90/ton for shred. But price change expected next week.
Shred up 15/ton, now 115/Ton in Chicago Heights Il
Shred up 10/ton, now 100/ton in Alsip Il
Sioux City at $100/ton for shred today.
$180.00 a ton for #1 iron in South Windsor, CT...... Not to shabby :p
My local yard will accept appliances only as a donation and not accepting aluminum cans at all. Prepared iron is $120 per net ton and unprepared is $90.
Crazy about the aluminium cans. Some yards here not buying them as well.

If I remember correctly your yards do not have a shred category, so if you wanted to scrap appliances would you have to break them down?Quote:

Being near Trenton, NJ I am not near a Weitsman yard, but look at a Weitsman price sheet when I can find one.
The December 3, 2020 price sheet show tin/light iron at $220 GT. That is $196.43 net ton.
All the yards by me are still at the November price of $150 net ton.
Anyone getting close to $200 net ton at a non Weitsman yard?
$165 net ton for shred
The closest yard (50 mi. away) still does not accept aluminum cans. They are scared of the coronavirus. Yard 60 mi. in the other direction is paying .20 a pd.
Unprepared iron went up to $ 140 a net ton and prepared is at $ 170 a ton. They are also paying $ 50.00 a ton for appliances.
Over 30 tons has been hauled in the last week and a half at these prices. Using liquid oxygen to prepare farm implements when the prices were low, but overloaded the tub trailer (modified stock trailer) and have major work to do on it. Since I do most of the repairs, it is not a financial loss, just slows down the hauling since I am limited to two gooseneck flatbeds.
For those that know my lifestyle, it is time for Christmas vacation with skiing and snowshoeing on the agenda. It was a short time frame between hunting seasons and winter activities so the tub trailer is on the back burner. The problem is it is now ice fishing season so the scrapping may have to wait until spring. What a life, one day at a time.
Yes but only through getting dealer pricing. Otherwise would be 85-125/gt for tin around Las VegasQuote:

FWIW was talking today with one of the yards I sell steel at and he expects to be selling at over $600/gt by April (which prolly means $300-350/gt for those of us down the food chain). Prices are already scheduled to go up in both January and February here and already have a yard offering $350/gt for cast iron starting next week which is over twice as high as it has been since I moved here in 2017.
Ran a couple loads this week. Prepared iron was $230.00/ton and shred was $135.00/ton. Took a little less than a ton each so it was a nice week. #1 Cast was at $270.00 but I didn't run that yet. Yard normally has piles, but the place is pretty empty, they are moving it out. Rockford, IL

I should start hoarding now and quit taking my steel in. I think I got $0.065/lb (which is pretty GREAT compared to what it has been over the last year or two) last time I went in this week.... but if $0.15/lb is on the horizon.... Perhaps I should just pile it up out back for a bit.
Sioux city up $10 to $150/ton
Shred up 45/ton. Now at 200/ton in Chicago Heights Il
wow!Quote:

Prices in the Bangor Maine area are starting to inch up. It's up to about 110/ton.
Locally ... starting to see more junk vehicles being transported to the scrapyard on flatbeds & wreckers these days. (It's a fifty mile run to the nearest yard.)
Just got $155 net ton, passed another place on way home $165. Lol
We do not have a shred category. Unprepared iron is up to $150 ton from $50.00 a couple of months ago. Appliances up from not accepting them to $50/ net ton. Makes it worthwhile to haul the stockpile. 7 tons have already been hauled this week and plan to haul seven cars tomorrow if I get them loaded today. They were prepped yesterday and just need to load them.
I know its cold but how about some photos??? Glad to hear the price is up where you are. Me, I'm not doing anything to speak of and what little scrap steel I have I've given away to other scrappers. 73 for now. I'd say stay warm but I know that ain't happening where you are. MikeQuote:

$220 Ton today
Thing are looking up
Shred up another 20/ton, Now at 220/ton.
Nostradamus who told me this just lowered his prices lol. Not dramatically but seems like he was overly optimistic. Still strong pricing but not a meteoric rise as he predicted (and I promptly shared!).Quote:
