steel/tin $80 per ton
iron $90 per ton
#2 insulated wire ... 15cents per lb
304$$ 15 cents per lb
yellow brass 25 cents per lb
Aluminum cans 33 cents per pound
red brass 50 cents per lb

only dropping steel and iron right now, but the yard is filling quickly with the nonferrous items.... the brass market has seen some spikes lately though ... yellow was up to 50 cents per lb and red was 80 per lb a few weeks ago..... 304SS was 25 cents so I'll need to check more often to catch the highs in the spikes.....

happy hunting and hope the market picks up .... though it does not seem to hit bottom on the stainless, brass or aluminum yet ... copper for that matter too
