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.Quote:

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

Don’t bring your catalytic converters here I didn’t get sh#t for an old one I had
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.Quote:

$10 for a converter... extremely low
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...
