Ive havent had time lately to check scrap prices. Does anyone know? specifically Charles in hendersonville?(its only bout 3 miles away.) I had heard it was back up around $6 in Asheville a couple weeks ago
 
Lol scrap anything at $6 is crazy right now, copper is even below $2 a pound right now.
What kind of "scrap" were you talking about anyway?
 
Talking about cars and loose parts. I sat on a couple this winter because i wouldnt give them away. I do metal framing and our delivery guy said biltmore was paying about $6 a couple weeks ago. He also said they told him prices would be going back up soon. We always have people asking for our scrap at work. With everyone out of work we usually let them take it. Besides the tires on my truck are 235 a piece so i would need a big load to make it worth one.
 
OK I got rained out today and made the trip. Charlies is paying $5 and $4.75 on steel. I called a guy about Biltmore and he said they were paying $5 but had told him it would be going to $6 but hasnt yet.
 
Sorry thats per hundred lbs. Sure miss that $13/100 last year. Oh and #1 copper was at $1.25 #2 at $1.10

Yeah but when Scrap is that high so is everything else. I am sure enjoying $1,80 per gallon gas. Once you see gas start climbing again scrap will too. Don't know what the relation is but it always seems that way.
