Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.
Metals recycling
I had two guys ask about bare bright before I finished my first coffee, copper is $6.64/lb, up 2.2% today and 2.0% over 30 days. Aluminum is moving with it at $3,490/mt, up 2.1% today and 2.5% on the month. HRC steel keeps grinding higher, $1,231/st, up 0.7% today and 3.4% in 30 days. The weird part is the shiny stuff, gold at $4,513/oz (up 3.4% today, 11.9% in 30) and silver at $66.92/oz (up 3.4% today, 16.0% in 30).
