I think the biggest thing right now that will impact scrap prices is the end of the war. At my company we noticed the price of metal drop a little and were not sure why.
On another note, I hope the price does drop again, you will see these new vultures go back into their caves and let the scrapping to the truley dedicated recycler. Back when the price was $20 a ton I was the only scrapper on Craigslist list and I would have a full load of scrap every day of the week. Now that the price is high there are hundreds of ads on Craigslist along with a flagging war and I can barely get a load a month because of the vultures. When the price goes back down and the vultures actually have to work for the money they will be nowhere to be found and back collecting wellfare.
Ok rant over, you can now enjoy the rest if your program.
