Recycling scrap metal prices have been on the rise and as of last week most local scrap yards increased the prices they are willing to pay for metals such as steel,copper & tin.This increase is due to the high demand for metals in fast growing countries.
Scrap metal prices vary depending on region.One link that has the going price rates for USA,Canada,Asia,Brazil,China,Europe,India is http://demolitionscrapmetalnews.com/
These prices are a standard but its best to call around to different scrap yards because some actually pay more than others.A few cents could make a difference and for a large haul that could mean a few more dollars.
*Note throwing away anything metal, in it or around it, is like throwing easy cash right out to window.
