Shredder yard is Metro Recycling in Blue island on Western ave.
Non shredder yard is Big Daddy Scrap in Chicago heights, but most of my non ferrous goes here.
235 ca$ per ton for shred , 270$ ca$ per shred if i accumulate 5 tons or more
Don't laugh to hard at me but the three yards in Denver I use for different reasons range from $70-$90 possibly $100 but I believe that was knot for turkey day weekend.
So yeah 4.5 cents a pound is our current high price for shred. All we get is shred in Denver. It's that or free your choice of course.
Just brought a couple of small loads to my yard. 700 lbs of Lt. Iron at $140.00/GT and 1160lbs of #1 prepared at $195.00/GT. Been pretty good around here for a bit, but down from the $220.00/GT it was at.
Scale prices in Albany today $176/gt for light iron, $250/gt for short steel (1 prep) and drums / rotors. Tier / dealer pricin even better.
Prices in Philly Trenton area did not go up in January.
Light iron $7.75/hundred and prepared #1/cast iron $8.50/hundred.
Upstate Shredding needs to buy a yard here.
Today in Central NC 5.75/hundred
Best prices around!Quote:

Well, I had a few steel items on the trailer (I really don't gather too much steel because it takes up so much space) and I was going to look at a job. I was driving across the celery fields and I see a helicopter carrying a box on the end of a rope. They have a helicopter training area there (I guess), so I drove down the road to get a better look. Well, there is a curbco stove, and I think, "if I had more on the trailer..." I drive down to the end where the copter school is and there is another stove. So I turn around and get the trailer and pick up both stoves and head to the yard. Yard was stacked high. Had the steel and three motors, so I dumped the steel and took the motors over to the light scales. Should have dumped the motors with the steel....
Holy Schmokies ... steel is more than motors? That's crazy.
Shred steel up $10 a ton today, up to 175/ton. In Chicago Heights Illinois
Copper2 $2.52
Yellow Brass $1.60
Stainless .33

$185 per gross ton today. Nice little jump from the last trip I made.
Shred up a bit to 180/ton. South side of Chicago
Decent run. Nothing special, just getting rid of some curbco accumulation.
Yeah, and steel was more than lite motors again today. Motors gonna go in the shred pile as well ballasts.Quote:

Yep electric motors between $.05 - $.13 a pound here so depending on the place it may be better to turn them in with the shred...
Steel piles at the scrapyard I go to most often are the smallest I have seen in years looks like they are moving out as much as they can as prices on steel have been going up
Hobo, I think I might go to a yard you use or have used. Anyway, it looked to me to be more bare than the last time I was there. I got .45 lb for my aluminum wheels.
Was it CFS?Quote:

I got .06 / # yesterday in DFW, down from .07 recently.
Well, here is today's ticket. I had a guy want to buy a bunch of the decorater stuff before it went over the scale, so you can add another $15 to the ticket...
On another note, be sure to tell those important to you that you love them. You never know when you are talking to someone for the last time.
I always hug my wife and kids and tell them I love them before I go to work. I hope all is well.Quote:
