Re: How much is scrap in your town?
Randy, almost evert day last week when I was fueling in the morning you could watch a string of trucks and trailers getting off the highway loaded with scrap. They were headed toward the local scrapyard, I spotted lots of trucks of our era. Friday I saw a pretty good size trailer hauling nothing but truck cabs. I figured scrap must really be up..even when it was up in the summer I dont remember seeing that many haulers.

$8.50 per hundred ($170 per ton) here. I took a big '76 Pontiac Bonneville out there about a week ago, and got $395 for it.

Re: How much is scrap in your town?
Not sure on the dollar/ ton, but it's high. A guy at work has been hauling in clunkers- $350+ each for FWD junk like a Taurus, Acclaim, etc.

Re: How much is scrap in your town?
We are moving to another shop and I carried 800 kg (1763 lbs.) to the junkyard. They gave me 65 Euros (about 95 dollars). This Junkyard is located in Germany. Would be interesting to compare prices.
I did find out that my 1970 C20 weighs about 4200lbs on the junkyard scale empty (no junk or driver) with 3/4s of a tank of gas. |

Re: How much is scrap in your town?
local places around here won't take it even if you give it to them, one scrap yard charges you to dump metal. they pay a little for copper, brass, aluminum etc. but scrap iron, tin etc. they charge to drop it. if you want to be paid for it, you'll have to drive 35-40 miles (70-80 round trip). at 3 bucks plus for a gallon of regular it ain't worth it unless you have a BIG load.

Re: How much is scrap in your town?
Its the highest its ever been here hat I remember. Alot of our trucks are getting crushed unfortunately. As was stated above a complete 3/4 2wd weighs over 2 ton. Thats $340 per truck. I'm just hoping it stays this high for a couple more weeks, so I can get these parted and hauled off
