I dropped off a box of scrap copper today and got $202.24 for a little over 50 pounds. The really neat part is I originally bought it as scrap and paid something like $200.00 for 800# of it about 5 years ago!

A scrap run of copper keeps the coffee and lunch coffers funded these days. Now the guys are cutting the fittings off for the higher "Clean Tube" price. $2.10/lb last week. Scrap on.

$2.40 # yesterday!
bet you wish you had the other 750 lbs now!
The thiefs are having a field day with the scrap copper prices this high.
