20 per ton? lol. thats a cent a pound. if your yard is paying that, tell them to shove that stove up their as s. last time i went in (im guessing the stove is cast iron) and it was .13 cents a pound and 280 per ton but im going to guess prices have dropped a bit.
some prices to go by...here in bangor maine
copper is around $3 a pound
brass is around $1.75
tin (thin metal, less then 1/8th thick) was 9 and a half cents a pound
#1 iron (which would be the stove you have) is any iron over 1/4th thick. i throw my metal that is 1/8th-1/4th in with my #1 pile too.
Like i said above, these prices were a few weeks ago, and may be different at your yard.
if you have any more questions just ask, there are some guys that will tell you EVERYTHING youd ever need to know on here
