They pay so little because they can. From what I've seen, lots of businesses just seem to be happy to get the stuff off their trucks. I have to shake my head sometimes seeing box trucks full of appliances being dumped without even the cords being cut.

I'm thinking I will stick to hauling to Cornwall if that's the case. AIM Cornwall pays well by you need to watch the pricing. They pay MT and Gerdau pays NT. AIM adds something like $5 to whatever Gerdau pays but then you need to convert it to NT to see the real value. But overall Cornwall seems to be the area paying the most. Gerdau seems low on NF but I have been able to get more than the list price just by bringing in large volume and asking ahead of time if they could do better.
