Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.

Metals recycling

Board changed overnight. Copper hit $6.68/lb, up 1.6% today, basically flat over 30 days (-0.1%), so that pop feels like a quick bid, not a new trend. HRC steel is $1,243/st, up 1.6% today and 4.1% over 30 days, which matches how shred has felt a little firmer. Aluminum at $3,473/mt is up 0.3% today, up 3.2% on the month.
