Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.
Metals recycling
The board feels split today. Copper is $6.66/lb, up 1.1% on the day and up 3.3% over 30, so the clean wire cans are still worth sorting instead of tossing in with shred. Aluminum is $3,408/mt, up 1.5% today and up 1.3% over 30, steady enough for window frame and extrusion piles. Steel is the drag, US HRC is $1,182/st, down 1.7% today and down 0.9% over 30. Precious is jumpy, palladium is $1,446.90/oz, up 8.2% today and up 11.1% over 30.
