After retiring I got in to scrapping. This was back in 2006. My loads of shred average 1500 to 1800 pounds. I used to make good money everytime at the yard. Brass radiators would bring good money. Now everytime I sell 1500 pounds of shred I walk away with $40 bucks if I am lucky. I am hoarding my copper and copper wire and the brass radiators. I have about 20 of them piled up. I recently sold 900 pounds of motors. I won't say how much I did not get. If it was not for my interest in repurposing and keeping things out of the landfill I would stop all together. I had to put restrictions on how far I will go to pick up stuff. Got to where it was costing me to haul people's scrap away. Anyone forcast a rise in scrap prices after the innauguration of President Trump. His affect on the stock market has been remarkable. Might do it for commodities as well. What do you think?
