    0.05 lb/5.00 cwt/100.00 a ton has been the case for at least a decade in NC, SC, GA, and AL. Right before it ended up there it was 0.19lb/19 cwt/380 a ton.

    You're probably talking about Pug1 from Inwood Canada. I use to do the exact same thing here in NC and paid all my bills and built savings at the same time, and was in no hurry doing anything.. I had...

    I've never tore them down and tested I just go by what yards actually pay per unit, and I've heard of platinum being extracted before.

    I may look in to the process of Palladium extraction. I still...

    You need a lot of storage or only deal in precious metal breakdown to do that.. I did gold ingots off polypropylene PCB tubs a while in a small room by ordering pallets of boards from whole sellers.....

    Platinum is at almost $1,000.00 an ounce is why. Copper isn't really precious and most yards give at least $2.00/lb for winding and pipe.

    I currently do runs 2+ tons shred or 200+ lb copper. I...
  11. Yard no longer differentiate Type L plumbing copper from AC copper??

    In the early two-thousands yards use to pay more for AC copper than they did pure-copper Type L(thicker wall than Type M) pipes.. When did this change?

    I also couldn't tell you why. I just...

    I could be wrong but it looks like copper and catalytic converters are the only way you can see decent profit now.. Maybe car and deep cycle batteries too..

  14. FYI what yards were paying in early two thousands and now..

    Around 2004: 0.10-0.12 a lb

    Now: 0.04-0.08

    I use to do it full-time so those are real numbers, and just did cars at my two local yards.
  15. Returning to scrapping since early two-thousands..

    I use to haul old cars full time around 2003 and get about 0.10/lb. I think it's 0.07/lb now or lower..

    This and the scrap metal forum database are the only close-to-active virtual presence of...
