Well, steel prices are going up, is scrap metal going up too? Last I scrapped in March, steel was about $0.04/#, aluminum was about $0.18. Anybody scrapped lately?
 
yea it has, i got $.08/lb for my scrap steel sheet metal about a month ago, not sure what Al. is at
 
time to keep an eye out on sawzall demands... thieves will ramp back up slicing off catalytic converters...

Well, scrappers stole my steel shed at my rental house back in the day, should be fun to see what happens now.

Up 25%. My friend that buys tons of steel sheet/month saw his prices go up almost 50%, $.55/# to $0.83/#.

Have him talk to Darko, i was getting 16 gauge from him for a pretty good price
 
Red Metals in Redford today.

Steel $0.055/#
Cast iron $0.070#
Aluminum $0.45/#

Would have liked that $0.08/# mentioned above since I had 1/2 ton of it..

In all honesty, I wish they didnt recycle cats, or only recycled cats from vehicles that you have a valid MI registration (I know they have $$$$ in materials).... it would stop the dirty thieves with sawzalls from taking them in the mall parking lots. It's happened to quite a few of my friends in Macomb. Macomb mall, Lakeside and Partridge Creek.
 
When the cat craze happened, someone sliced off the foe converter on my vehicle. If the thief knew any better they could've guessed it was not what they wanted by the nearby exhaust clamp it was being clamped by...
 
I was about to ask how much converters were going for. I got one of my 89 Wagoneer but I don't think it will be worth my time to drive to the scrap yard...
