Scrap metal prices

[ydrogs at gmail.com (Gordy Stedman)]

FWIW you can get more for aluminum if it is separated from other metals.
For example a head is a lot of aluminum but you need to strip it.  At least
that is how it is at the metal salvage yard I went to in PDX.  Also keep
your eyes out for copper since there is a large return on it, $1 per 1lb
last time I looked.
