    There are other yards that pay +/- on things but are just not worth the time and fuel. What I am getting the .15 for, is the byproducts of escrap. small fans, motors, transformers. A few of the yards will not even take the PC fans. So, for this region, and the convenience of the 2 yards I use from me, I am OK with the pricing. AND...they do not allow walk ins, nor, are there mud holes to drive through. All clean concrete!! THAT... has added value to me ;-)

    Where do you go, BroJer? I use the Cohen Brothers in Hamilton. Prices similar to yours, except... shred has been hanging tough at .075 for quite a while. I'd love .10.

    I wish they had concrete, too. Saturday morning was an ankle-deep mud soup. Also, I've gotten very good at plugging my tires...

    I've been in contact with a lot of scrap yards in the last month or so in Central and Southeastern Ohio and the prices you're getting fit right in middle. The highest I seen for cans are .62lb and the lowest .45lb. I'm waiting till I talk to our buyer Tuesday but we will probably pay .50-.55lb. It's a 30 mile drive to the next nearest buyer that pays .62 so would take a lot of cans to make it worth the drive. From what I hear the UBC market is trending slightly down right now.

    I use River Metal on State St. Would be a bit of a drive for you. I got 2200lbs of old wax and laser printers, out by you, a few weeks ago. (Pisgah) It was a referral from the yard manager at State St. Was well worth the trips and they are stacking more for another PU soon.

    I have never had a flat, the only walk ins they allow are with bags of cans, do not have to wait in line while tweakers are sorting stuff...

    If you get a load that may be worth the extra fuel, they are about 2 minutes off I75, so it is an easy drive. I live 10min from there. Will buy ya coffee ;-)

    We have no walk-ins, even for cans, but the meth heads still take up space/time.

    Since that post, I've gotten a raise on shred- 9 cents a pound! Woohoo!


    Also, we're going to have to set up some boundaries, no pickups in my area

    What do you do with old wax? Candle making business?

    Its also nice to go to the same place and build a relationship with the employees because they end up hooking you up in the long run.
