What is scrap iron selling for in your area now? Here in Calif it is 70.00 for short iron. I called the scrap place and they said short iron is 4 ft. I always thought it was 3ft. X 18 inches . Have the demensions changed? Stan

Last month took in a S-10 Blazer, gutted of engine/trans and other parts and then filled interior with other scrap metals. It weighed #2480 and received $98.40 at the bailer. Took in a gutted Chevy 1/2ton without engine/trans also. Loaded the cab and bed to #5560 and received $212.20. The Japanese are said to be buying huge amounts of scrap and have driven the price up. They are paying 190.00 a ton for clean #1 around here.

If you think the scrap yard scales are true--you'd better think again! i've been told they are usually off a little bit. don't know how true it is. I deal at Neville Metals on Neville Island, on the Ohio river, west of Pittsburgh. I'm satisfied that i get a good price for my scrap. Last trip, i got $6 a hundred lbs. for steel/ cast scrap. aluminum brought 50 cents a lb., even for alum. cans. Neville runs a good business, and they have treated me fairly, i think. I'm just a pickup truck junkie, but i get treated as good as the big haulers! Very courteous workers, and if i find something i can use, they'll either sell it to me, or let me weigh out with it in the truck bed! I don't ask to do that very often, just once in a long while! by: rustyj

Here, US #2 heavy melt scrap steel in 4' billits, less than 10% breakable cast iron per load is $110 per ton.

American Metal Markets online has the specifications for scrap metals.
