Scrap Metal Prices suck .. A Major Letdown

Welcome to my channel today. Me and lunch box bring a load of scrap metal in. The load was all from one day What with the scrap metal prices falling and not being stable. It's hard to make money And with rising fuel costs, it's just really getting bad... #junk #metal #hvac #scrap #scrapyard #work #recycling #mechanic #ford #truck

Copper prices here in Michigan are the highest I e gotten in years ,brass too

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Yeah, they have been pretty good, but I'm more worried about the steel prices. They've been so flat and i've heard people all of their country saying that they've been going down for them

[@Dave1380-bq9fk]

two days ago the yard paid 10 cents a pound steel, then today it paid 7 cents, i guess it depends on the stock market or something, hope it gets better, thanks for another one

Bare bright #1 in between where i live in ct and you in newyork $4.21 a lbs. We been slow a lot of light iron ,water heaters. The only real cooper is from the fin off the big ac units. Last week dead after the holiday our hvac place cage they have for us full 3 huge loads. Been getting alot of tools like older table saws (craftsman 1950s) heavy alot of portable generator Ingersoll air compressors. So cashing in now either scrapping or selling plus i made the investment of a wire stripping machine first few hrs paid for itself now me strip everything machine does it no more razor knives breaking balls and making mess. So cash in now before prices dont move up but down and me start sitting on stuff until its time to cash in
