Scrap

[Yarz]

I took in a small load this morning. It was $8 per 100 for "sheet iron".

Yeah my local SA recycle is $200 a ton so $10 per 100lbs. I got a trailer full of scrap I'm gonna take next week to make room since I'm gonna cut up a couple more trucks next week to scrap.

$155 local south of KC.

Last load earlier ghis month was $80 ton. And I'm supposed to be on the good guy price list.

My local scrap yard didn't pay squat on batteries. I took prolly 900 lbs of batteries and got $23. I shoulda took them to O'riellys. They pay 10 bucks per battery whether you are buying a new one or not.

Yeah, the last load of batteries I took in was disappointing too.

Ill call the scrap Monday but dont expect to get more than 10c a lb, and yes that is disappointing a few years ago it was 25c a lb.

If they’re paying that little, make sure all the cells are full of water.

Think I got .37 lb back in 2018 last batch went with the range lead at .74 lb in july

Similar. I ended up with close to 1000 9ah batteries. Scrap yard told me their base price was 9c/lb but if I was bringing in over 1000lbs they could give me 13c/lb

I've been selling them at about 2 bucks each in quantity to get rid of them. Was going to build a solar setup but the move next year plan took that off the list.

and sand
be sure and top up their sand before you top up their water

I take mine to a battery recycling place, they pay by size. Better money than the scrap yard.

that’s just doing too much.

Where are you getting all this free sand? don’t you know there’s a worldwide shortage. We’re running out. Stop wasting it
