In January I was getting $160/ton for shred, now it's $140.
Copper #1 is $2.85/lb
Yellow Brass is $1.75/lb
Please tell me what yard is paying $3.75 for copper!! Might be worth a road trip!Quote:

Shred up 15/ton instead of going down, but march is still coming up soon. Now 185/ton. Scale guy said its cause nobody's really been coming in. too cold and snowy. i can believe that.
I heard the market was flooded when the prices went up and the pipeline shutting down. Rotor mountain was completely gone when i went to the yard on 1-30Quote:

I'm regularly seeing junk cars on flatbed trailers headed for the scrapyard this winter now that steel prices are up.
Sioux City at $140/ton. Shred. Not the best but definitely not the worst I have seen.
Shred up 20/ton. Now at 205/ton in Chicago Heights IL
Sioux city is at $150/ton
$160/ton here.
$170 and $185 and $220 at 3 local yards. Guess which 2 I don't frequent?

Up to $185 in Las Vegas with sufficient quantity at the shredder yard.
Sioux City $190/ton for shred today at 12:30.
$320 CDN for NT on Shred here in Niagara Region of Ontario...
Sioux City shred $200/nt yesterday.
Montreal CDN 120.00 / MT, but most local yards currently buy #2 at CDN 165.00 / MT.
In Vegas today:
HMS Prep: 245
HMS unprep: 215
Tin: 190
Cast: 300
Shred at one yard $180/ton
Another yard $165/ton
Another yard $140/ton
Go figure they are all within 10-15 miles of each other
I haul in my shred about 3 to 4 times a year. I've noticed that prices have been going up and my last trip it was 100 a ton. I called them yesterday and they said 50 a ton for shred which caused me to laugh in the persons ear followed by a "no thanks".
The next call was to PSC in Nashville and they are giving 160 a ton. This is why I always tell everyone to check around on prices. Now what I need to do is load up maybe 5 computers (they don't take computers) and show them that all PCB's and plastic has been removed.
Today I checked the prices around here. The main yards on the island of Montreal still buy at CDN 165.00 / MT, but in the suburbs and outside the metro area, the prices go from CDN 120.00 / MT to CDN 240.00 / MT. The best prices were from some of the smaller locally-owned yards and the worst one was from the biggest player in the province (the one who buy all the competition yards he can). It is a bit surprising, because that corporate guy would get a better price due to his higher volume and his international sales, instead he's taking a bigger cut on the price.
Unprepared HMS 260/ton in Chicago Heights Ill
0.05 lb/5.00 cwt/100.00 a ton has been the case for at least a decade in NC, SC, GA, and AL. Right before it ended up there it was 0.19lb/19 cwt/380 a ton.Quote:

I'm just glad I have options that pay more.... It usually takes an estate clear-off for me to even do a run these days...
I was just sitting here thinking about my trip to the yard today to get rid of about 800-1000 pounds of PC cases and other shred. Not really looking forward to the trip. I would prefer someone local stop by my house and I would give it to them. I'm only interested in the circuit boards and other parts that can be sold for better than scrap prices.Quote:

Computer and PCB bulk pallets right now go for about what the gold they produce does... That stopped being profitable after gated community families seen people doing it on youtube and started over paying for bulk assuming gold will spike or it'll be currency over lead during fallout(lol)Quote:

Shred prices are down in Montreal. Major yards buy now at CDN 135.00 (USD 107.12) / MT instead of CDN 165.00 (USD 130.92) and, in the suburbs, I got CDN 100.00 (USD 79.35) / MT instead of CDN 120.00 (USD 95.22) / MT.
Shred down 40/ton. Was 220 now 180/ton. :&
Shred down another 40/ton. Now at 140/ton. Im actually happy, to much competition out there. i see scrappers every ware i go now a days.... So Bye Bye little leaguers, wanna be's and soccer dad scrappers.
Shred here is at lowest price since years (probably a decade or so): CDN 75.00 / MT. Some yards still pay more, but almost all ferrous and non-ferrous rates have taken a big hit up here.
