Do you sell your tin as iron, or do you seperate? If you seperate, whats the difference in price between the two you have been getting?

Sell my "tin" as "iron"? I wish they'd let me do that.

Yes, some yards call it "light iron" (less than 1/8").
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
I seperate as much as possible and when it makes sense time wise. Get docked if too much tin in prepared. Sold on January 13, 2012. 200/ton on unprepared/tin; 260/ton on prepared. Prepared in this yard is 18" x 3' or smaller

Oh, I see now. It's that yard "slang thang" again. My bad. I try to separate my iron (sheet metal/tin, light iron, prepared/short iron) as much as possible. Not sure on current prices at the moment, but it's usually a pretty decent difference.Originally Posted by Mick

The yards I go to in Nebraska pay the same price for tin as they do unprepared steel so it all goes in the same pile for $205 per ton right now.

Hey Cobre- All Recycling was at $265 the other day if you have anything down here in the big city.

I have a small pile collected here but I just don't find it in Denver like I do elsewhere. But at $265 it doesn't take much for a decent check. Thanks for the info!

The Tin your thinking about is like $9.95 a pound! Wish I could find some of that...

Haha, that's why I asked.
I look out on eBay and sometimes pick up a few cheap organ pipes when i can be bothered.
A lot of them are a Tin/Lead alloy but sometimes they are all Tin.
These are what i go for http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pipe-organ-t...item4600569e23
Doesn't take many to get a heavy load!
