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

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

[cwgii]

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.
