Here in Bairnsdale Australia, there are/were 2 scrappies. Now one has closed his doors for the time being. The other is only offering $40-00 tonne delivered to their yard. Aluminum is $0.50c a kilo. Copper and Brass around $5.00 mark.
Simsmetal, one of Australias biggest scrap firms suggested to the first mentioned that as it was a nice day, he should close his gates and go fishing. They wouldn't be looking to pick up from him until NEXT MARCH 2009.
Of course, I missed the boat. had a few tonnes to get rid of and didn't get much at all for it delivered. Then there was the weigh-bridge fee to take out of it as well. Cleaned up the yard a bit though.
No CMP bits were harmed in this exercise.
