How much metal is now accepted: marveled at the prices
Everyone remembers the turbulent 90s, when peasants roamed about dachas and garages in search of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. And everywhere there were advertisements for its purchase. Today it is very rare to meet a "metalist". Why?
It seems that we did not live better (if not listen to what they say on TV, but look at real life).
How much is "nonferrous metal" now?
I went to the website of a large Moscow office and found out the prices:
- ferrous scrap
It is bought only in large quantities from 5 tons, the cost depends on the grade and starts from 12,800 to 15,200 per ton. (in small purchases, metal is bought for 4-5 rubles / kg, in business 🙉🙉🙉).
- cable
Cable has always been the king of non-ferrous metal: I don’t remember that its prices went down even in the crisis years of 2008 and 2014. Today copper cables of small section cost from 150 rubles / kg, large - 330-340 rubles. Their aluminum counterparts - 60/80 rubles per kilogram.
- non-ferrous metals
pure copper - 445 rubles / kg;
aluminum - 105 rubles / kg;
brass - 280 rubles / kg;
lead - 104 rubles / kg;
stainless steel - 70 rubles / kg.
Now, looking at the prices, I understand where the metalworkers have gone. Inflation (and the appearance of jobs) did their job - it became simply unprofitable to hand over scrap metal. And almost all the metal (at least black) from the streets of the cities disappeared - it became more difficult to get it.
I think that now only electricians who have access to old wires and cables are massively renting out non-ferrous metal.
👇 And when was the last time you handed over scrap metal?
