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.

.30 a pound here.
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.

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.
