Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.
Metals recycling
Had a couple guys asking about wire again, and yeah, copper is giving them a reason. It's $6.72/lb today, up 1.8% on the day and up 8.1% over 30 days, so the clean bright stuff feels less like a chore to sort. Aluminum is going the other way at $3,356/mt, down 1.0% today and down 4.9% on the month, so wheels and extrusion are a little less fun. HRC steel is flat today at $1,196/st, up 3.6% over 30 days.

Green is profit per part. COG is junkyard cost. Sale is typical sold value. 90d is sell-through on a 90-day cycle.
