    Default Scrap price check - Trump tariffs

    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?

    copper is down
    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    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..
