Hey All- long time no speak.
Things have been steadily progressing at the home shop, but not the to level, that I feel warrants having a truck to come pick up my chips on a regular basis. So I barrel my chips 55 gallons(x6) at a time and truck them myself to a local metal recycling center. I have been to at least 3 maybe 4 different places in town and so far I have yet to have a pleasant experience. The guys running the scale are usually awful bitter, and more times than not- the lady handing me the cash is anything but flattering. Aside from that, the money is hardly even worth the effort. I think Id be okay with having them steal from me if they were at least decent, and Id be fine with them being salty if they made the trip worth my while.
So how can I better educate myself and begin to barter for higher scrap prices? Should I be using a broker? What are some of the things you do to make sure you are getting top dollar for you're scrap metal? Is there a website that I may use to keep track of current material prices(raw or scrap)?
Thanks in advance!
