The local recycling center here in Millville is currently paying .095 cents per pound for shredder feed. This is any steel or iron item - and it can have plastic or wood attached - they shred entire cars, upholstery and all.
I understand, however, that some yards are now paying more for the more valuable metals. Cumberland Recycling only pays 70 cents a pound for aluminum - it must not be mixed with iron or anything else. I understand that another yard in Vineland is paying $1.20 per pound.
Yellow Brass is going for $1.60 at Cumberland, elsewhere they are paying over $2. #2 Copper is going for $2.75, up from $2.55 a couple weeks ago. The other place is paying over $3. That is quite a big difference - so it pays to shop around.
If you are reading this blog, and would like to contribute the local prices for scrap in your area, please comment or contact me. I would like to create an up to date price list by region.
If you are a recycling center, please contact me. Maybe we can work out some sort of ad agreement.
