We have several tons of scrap steel I was going to recycle. It was quoted at 2 cents a pound US! Last year scrap got 7 cents, and a year or so before that it was 11 cents. It was not worth hauling it in, maybe I will make sculptures with it instead.
- brc 11y agoThat is a very big drop in price! No wonder the iron ore price has dropped through the floor. I wonder if the innovation needed, then, is a mobile recycling plant rather than having to haul the raw goods to the scrapyard. I'm sure such a thing is pie in the sky, but I've seen the mobile sawmills in action, they're quite a sight to behold.
- gregpilling 11y agowe will turn the stuff into garden art or something. They are the remnant skeletons from plasma cutting parts. 4'x8' sheets with 6" holes in them basically. the art will go for a few dollars a pound, if we are lucky. But it is slow, and more complicated than just scrapping the stuff and getting cash today.
