My scrap places run on a monthly contract and I'd say they haven't negotiated new contracts yet

I hauled in $5,500 worth of stuff last weekend as I got some really nice prices

Prepared price for bottle caps
#3 copper never had them give me that. What was it
Nice on the milk jugs as well
Christmas wire did this have bulbs attached for this price

cfs goes back and forth on the bottle caps one time as scrap next as good stuff.

#3 might have had a faucet on it

other copper was clean pipe.

jugs are really not worth it due to the low weight

wire was wire. as i cut out the bulbs while riding into town with the old lady.

i think i will pull one of your stunts of filling up a microwave with the bulbs. as shred is more than copper content.

but .....we will see just how much the price has dropped today.
