Not so many as a few years ago here, but you can usually get at least a few
good responses to a well-formed question.

There's another thread out there talking about scrap metal prices in San
Fernando. I believe 59-cents-per-pound was mentioned.

In Maine, I'm paying 35-cents-per-pound for scrap steel and a buck-a-pound
for scrap aluminum.....

What are others paying around the USA and in other countries???????

Holy Crap, I'm selling my scrap for only $28 a ton. Mostly 19 ga cold
rolled dead-soft for stampings. I did scrap about 25 tons of old machines
that were mostly cast iron. It seems the scrap yards are profiting ok. I
wish I could find a market for scrap steel wire that is < 1", it clogs the
machines at the scrap yard and they wont take it, I have to pay for
landfill. I wonder if it was mixed with concrete???

Clean mild steel is worth about 100 per ton. The foundrys are looking
for that stuff. No oil, no paint. Stampings are easy to handle too.
