    Dirty brass by me is .60 a pound. 7 cents a pound sucks, how much is steel going for?

    My yard requires me to remove all plug ends so anything that has gold plated pins goes into one bucket. Male ends from power cords go in another bucket. The ends will be removed and sold for yellow brass and the rest get tossed in with my shred.
