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

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
