Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.
Metals recycling
Copper is the one moving, $6.71/lb today, up 2.2% on the day and 4.2% over 30 days, so bare bright conversations get louder fast. Aluminum is creeping, $3,378/mt, up 0.6% today and 1.3% on the month, nothing dramatic but it holds. HRC steel sits at $1,210/st, up 0.4% today and 1.6% over 30 days, so shred stays boring. Precious is split, silver $67.14/oz (up 16.6% in 30 days), palladium $1,383/oz (down 3.2% today).
