Get 5 Cents Extra For Your Aluminum Cans

Other than labor, the biggest expenses recyclers face are storage and transportation. So we’ve been crunching numbers and have discovered we can afford to pay more for crushed aluminum beverage cans than we can afford to pay for cans that remain intact. That’s why we are now paying $.05 Cents per pound extra for crushed aluminum cans.

Scrap Steel Prices In Greensboro

When it comes to the price of scrap steel, Salvage America, like most every other metals recycler in the world, is tied to the Global Markets the Democrats and Republicans in Washington sold out to many years ago before Bush II and Clinton. While we do our best to sell our scrap metals to American and North Carolina steel mills, without a doubt some of it is resold to foreign markets as we can’t tell people what they can and cannot do with the metals we sell them.

Like every other salvage operation in the country, we subscribe to anything and everything we can to help us determine in advance, which direction prices will take. Sadly, it appears as if November steel prices are set to take a dip if not a dive. Autumn price drops are not uncommon-- thankfully most aren't as extreme as the crash of 2008.

We know you’d like for us to post our prices online but because prices change so frequently we find that to be very hard to do. If you’d like to know today’s pricing you only need give us a call.

I don’t have a boat but if I had a wooden boat that was in need of restoration I would take it to Lowell Boats located just down the street from Salvage America.

Time To Sell Scrap Copper

Copper is now at the highest price it has been in the last year but if the past is an indication of the future then the price won’t stay high very long. We believe a price drop will be coming any day now as wholesale orders for holiday consumer electronics (a big user of copper) have already ended for 2009. That’s why we’re now loading our scrap copper onto trucks and putting it in the hands of the companies we sell to.

Aluminum Prices Climbing

While copper and steel prices have dropped in recent weeks-- copper due to Chinese holidays and steel at least in part by Cash for Clunkers-- the price of scrap aluminum has remained pretty much flat until now. Currently most types of aluminum scrap including aluminum cans are up about a nickel since last week so quit hoarding and start hauling before the price drops again.
