This became a hot point of discussion the other day among some large shop owners. The local scrappers do about anything to get your scrap, but where do they take it? Common sense says they are making a profit, but that profit is far from local. Trucking? Rail? Say a company is dumping they Al solids scrap for $.60/lb, where is the scrapper sending it and for how much? It seems to be a sector no one ever talks about! But with all the new buildings and vehicles at the scrapper, I would say they are OK.
It's just really intriguing how no one knows where the scrap goes!
