Guess again. 
Really! I took a load 2 weeks ago at $6.50, last week at $8. and yesterday was $10.50? This was for just white goods and dirty metal. And when you call some of these places for prices you're lucky to get an answer cause most places are stretched so thin right now. It's a gamble. Some of your bigger places usually has someone dedicated for phone calls but I've found the smaller places usually has a slight edge on prices. Foss's in Durham sometimes you have 1 man running the show. Weighs you in, goes and cranks the forklift to unload and then comes back to weigh you out.
I've went twice in one day before and the general metal price changed $0.50 at mid-day. Copper is unreal how unsteady...
Just be sure to seperate for #1 cause it's at a high right now. Not an all time high but as high as it's been since the big crash. I've heard to compare metal prices with gas prices at the time and everything mentioned above goes for gas prices as well. I'm sure you've seen how gas prices can jump 3 times in one day.
There was a thread not long ago but I recall Western side of the state was giving more than my area. Just for comparison, yesterday at Foss's was also:
Aluminum - $46 per hundred
Catalytic's - $50 flat.
I think we need to keep a sticky going for scrap prices. Seems everybody on here has scrap. And if you have enough, it could be worth a road trip? Even though every time I try to drive across state to save money, it ends up costing me a ticket or a break down or something stupid...
