bison said: (quoted from post at 15:15:19 06/27/14) I took in a pickup load(3500 lb) heavy scrap iron to my local scrap yard today., all welding scrap and broke parts, no oversized pieces either,..had to unload it myself to boot I got only $90 for the lot,it barely paid for the fuel for the trip Rather dismal compared to new steel. I feel i got robbed . :( Their pricing scrap steel $55/metric ton.(smaller than 5' long and 2'wide) clean Aluminum 40 cent a lb clean copper $1.20/lb clean brass 1.25/lb vehicles $30/ton What are you guys getting?

You're not alone - I checked the price before seeding, $40/ton for old machinery, etc. This scrap yard is right next to a steel plant that melts it down. Sucks compared to what we see the Americans getting but if you want a clean place that's the deal.
