About the same here, about 1/2 cent/lb. for sheet metal about 2 weeks ago.

Had approx 1 ton in steel and maybe 15 lbs of brass, copper and aluminum, made alot more on the non-ferrous stuff.

I have a couple hundred pounds in cans, but I won't sell it for that. I'll hold it until it goes up. I have a hundred or better pounds of aluminum scrap too.


With the US so divided, I'm just glad to be on the side that believes in God, has the most guns, and knows which restroom to use.

Price has been slowly going up here in central KY. Hoping it goes up a bit more before trapping season so I can get some scrap out of the way.

We have a very large metal processing place about 4 miles from us that hauls thousands of tons of metal per month. Their post price is for sheet iron $80 per ton, heavy iron like rotors could be up to $130. I do not know the other varying or grade prices for iron and the other metals. When the prices were really high a couple years ago I never so so many old balers, combines, diggers, plows etc. hauled away. sure cleaned up a lot of the farmers bone yards.
