High grade aluminum borings: $.40
Soft lead: $.56

Yeah "clean aluminum wire" or "ec wire" *should* be how it's graded at any yard. And it should be roughly the same price as 6063 bare extrusion. For yards that don't do a lot of non-ferrous volume...

Nothing needs to be removed to get a mid grade low or cable box board price. To get mid grade high can only speak for myself as a buyer but the glass reader, large plastic, large transformer and the...

Wish I could recommend a brand! The ones we uses at my old job were custom builds. Your granulator didn't come with a separating table at all?

Had a little time today so ran a bunch of insulated Al wire through the stripper to see about recovery. At all the yards I know of Insulated Aluminum has a pretty huge gap vs. EC Wire price. Ins Al...

Cannot speak for Ewasted but as is would not be mid-grade high for most buyers. Would more likely be in the $1.75-2.15 range.

Nostradamus who told me this just lowered his prices lol. Not dramatically but seems like he was overly optimistic. Still strong pricing but not a meteoric rise as he predicted (and I promptly...

Hi and welcome to the forum! I have never bought nor sold painted yellow brass as anything but clean yellow brass. Others may have different experiences with this

Try your local pick-a-part or Oregon equivalent.

Hi and welcome to the forum from Las Vegas! I have little converter experience to add. But the business principles are the same. Buy for less than you sell. Pay fair because it's right (and also...

Ok but what if she's evil? Surely then it would be justice!

Got $230/gt for shred today which means $330 in California by the ports! A year ago local yards were mostly not paying for tin at all except from commerical scale clients and even then as low as...

No because there is recovery costs built into the pricing. They'll either have to pay someone to cut it to separate the non-brass or it goes to a shredder. Either way 80% as a category will usually...

Where I sell, if the vast vast vast majority of the weight is cast iron and is otherwise "contaminated" with only tiny amounts of non-cast irons then it can go with clean cast iron. But otherwise...

You're looking at a low-grade brass breakage by appearance in the link. Would guess about the same as you get for brass plug ends.

Pricing updated. Some examples below:

Bare bright: $3.21
Cu degaussing wire: $2.47
ICW #2 35%: $.79
18-8 Stainless steel: $.42
Mixed aluminum heatsinks: $.47
Electric motors: $.30
Cast...

For folks interested in some of the math offered above, electric motor pricing is based off an estimate of 12% copper recovery per average container (43000lbs-ish) load. This is based upon the...

You've got the right idea with these bumps. I encourage people to read older threads but it's good practice to recirculate them so people browsing will happen upon them. Thank you!

I don't have significant converter experience but the one trade I did with APA was seamless. If you're wanting to go direct to a refinery I have nothing to add but if you search the forum you'll find...

Your questions are fine and one purpose of the forum. For the most bang for your buck if you feel you have to strip it I'd go with one of the wire stripping machines you can find on ebay or alibaba...

Prices are at an 8 year high as of today! Was marked at 3.71/lb on Comex this morning. Wooohooo! Enjoy the ride everybody!

A somewhat tardy welcome to the forum NewportNate!

Hi and welcome to the forum!



Cast iron or cast aluminum blocks? If cast iron definitely not. If cast aluminum....maybe? You'll make more for sure stripping them down if your labor costs are...

How much do you get and how often do you get it?
