    I was expecting the very worst, but things were quite fine. Sold shred today at CAD 135 / TM (USD 109 / ton). I am happy with that price, because I previously sold at CAD 75.00 and 90.00 in the last years. The yard was empty (lowest inventory I ever saw there, not even enough shred to fill up a 10 wheeler box and it was on the afternoon coffee break (no one in the yard too). Just too bad the gas prices are not the same. I fueled unleaded regular at CAD 1.549 / liter (USD 4.30 / gallon) Monday and I saw it at 1.799 / liter (USD 4.99 / gallon) Yesterday. That's a 16% price hike (due to pure creed and speculation) in the same week.

    NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).
