    $220 a ton for shred is low? Come here to north Idaho / Spokane. $60 a ton.

    You should watch the scrap and Pallet man, he's got a good channel too. He's always looking at the brighter side of everything.

    Earned my sub. You get a good price. Detroit area here and only getting $150/ton on shred. Still haven't budged on copper and I'm getting frustrated. 2.95 for bare bright and 2.75 for #2. I'm holding onto it if they don't go up at least a little

      Yeah, that's ridiculous around here. Number one prices are $3.85 a pound. And $3.75 And the copper price is climbing every day. I suggest get a scale to wake up what you have.. And call a bunch of different scrapyards. Tell them what you have and the weights. And ask what they'll do on the price.. Shop around, don't take a low ball price

    Even though you worked hard to get that scrap to haul in for a little payday. I am having to hold mine, we are down on shred, tin and short iron. All of it is below $160 a ton. I'm going to watch and see if it goes back up to at least $200 a ton. Take care and see you on the next video.

      No, Only the ones with the round bolt on play on the top.. So if it has the plate and the pipes come straight out the top like in the video, it has a copper coil.

    I sell my shred regardless even it it down 40 bucks a ton. I had deal with that in Obana adminstaration. When price, many scrap yards closed up and fail doing this period. But I grind though it. Trick is
    Sell some non ferrous alonf with that load

    • @Adventureswithmike1
      @Adventureswithmike1  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Funkybulb Yeah, I process and sell about a million pounds of tin/Shred A year, it's not worth holding on to.. So I separate, and clean what I can to maximize my profit on the non. Non ferrous side..
