What yard do you go to?

Ah, that's a little far from me....I'm in North Highlands.

i only use schnitzer - rancho - sims - rancho ... and the yard on power inn and the one in elk grove off waterman ... only yards paying anything

I found one place paying well for #2 insulated. DC Metals $1.20/lb over 75lbs...all their other non-ferrous not so good though.
