I only got 70% spot because it was very low concentration material, 8-30%.

Sign of the times.
Took in 5 pallets Wednesday got $2. Thurs took a load in from home....$1.50
From me, lost %25 income, overnight.

my sources aren't generating much scrap if any.
But at yesterdays price of only $40 a GT I d be basically losing money
Scarp yard has also reduces its hours 8-2 M-f (no sats now)

144 # plastic at .35

I tried to take a load in today. I got to the yard at 10AM and they had just shut down. The current plan is to be closed until April 20th.

Called my favorite yard,, before I loaded, same response. Maybe the 20 the.

$18 and change of scrap, mostly tin but some aluminium. Scrap yard has you hold up your licence at the window, the signature pad is outside. They open window a little and hand over cash. Fun times.

The local yard reopened earlier than planned.
