Use that money to pay off past bills, or towards a new fuel efficient car. The Portland area was affected majorly by the recent economic recession forcing many people to turn to scrap metal as a turn to gain immediate income. With many illegal operations it is easy to become confused as to the best choice to make and where to turn to get the best 'bang for your buck'.
Due to increasing demand and tightness of supply, American busheling scrap price has gone up by $25/ton; shredder scrap and HMS 1 haverisen by a range between $10-20/ton depending on the size of the scrap. These current US figures show that now may be the best time to get rid of that old eye sore.

Unemployed workers turning to scrap hauling to pay the bills
Unemployed workers turning to scrap hauling to pay the bills

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- The global market for scrap metals is at an all-time high -- and that has created a means of survival for some area construction workers left unemployed after the southwest Florida real estate market went bust a year ago.
Now, instead of hauling tools to their construction sites, the workers are using their pickups to scour the countryside of junk, which they then sell at local recycling yards at prices that have tripled in the past couple of years.
Some are experiencing a bonanza the likes of which they haven't seen in years. The more industrious scrappers are earning from $300 to as much as $1,000 for a day's haul.
All day long, they can be seen rolling in to the scrap yards, towing trailers loaded down with rusty appliances, gigantic generator parts, sections of airplane wings, lawn mowers, bicycles, old pumps and just about anything else made of metal.
"Oh yeah, every Tom, Dick and Harry's getting into it now," said scrapper Greg Stevens of Port Charlotte.
Stevens and a partner have been scrapping for a couple of years. But "now it's getting good," he said of the money.
As he was being interviewed outside the Allied Recycling Inc. yard in the Whidden Industrial Park, a big front loader was hoisting a couple of rusty dual-wheeled tractor-trailer axles off Stevens' trailer. He expects the axles to bring about $300 each.
Scrap fever, as it might be called, has also spurred a major crime wave, a review of recent Charlotte County Sheriff's reports indicates. Sheriff's reports show there have been at least 15 cases involving $30,000 worth of metal items stolen from local businesses and residential yards in just the past week alone.
"It's becoming a big problem," said Bob Carpenter, sheriff's spokesman.Air conditioners have become the local criminal's spoil of choice because they don't require breaking into houses to steal them, Carpenter said.
"Now, it's just cut the wires, throw it in the truck and get away," he said.He said lawmakers have been considering legislation to regulate the sale of scrap in much the same manners as pawnshops.
Deputies made several arrests in the illicit scrap trade.
In a couple of incidents, thieves even burglarized recycling yards.
"They're scrapping their grandmothers' cars," added William Gard, owner of Gard Auto Repair in the Cleveland community. Gard's business is located a block from two scrap yards, and watching the scrappers haul in their loads has become a pastime.
Many of the loads consist of beat up, rusted-out cars. But Gard cringes at the loss of some of the antique relics that are getting swept up.
"There's Model Ts and Model As," he said. "I saw a '36 Chevy the other day."
Gard said he was at Trade Mark recently to do some scrapping of his own. He said he looked into a bin and saw nine Pratt & Whitney cylinder heads for 1940's vintage aircraft engines.
"Those things sell on e-Bay for $5,500 a piece," he said.
"It is booming," said Robert Brown, owner of MSB Used Auto Parts, 5029 Dalewood St. in Cleveland. "Scrap is at an all-time high."
But the boom doesn't boil down to profits, he said. He cited the high price he has to pay to purchase junk vehicles. The price has more than tripled to about $300 per car, and he said that's driving up the price he has to charge for the used parts.
"Personally, I was a lot happier three to four years ago," Brown said.
Brown also suspects that as much as 50 percent of the scrap getting hauled to local yards is stolen property.
He said he won't accept junk vehicles unless the owner has a title. Other yards accept vehicles without a title, as long as the owner signs an affidavit stating the car was not stolen.
"I don't want to drive an economy of thieves, but, boy, it's going," he said.
"It's been going very well," said Rusty Phillips, facility manager for the Trade Mark yard, also on Dalewood Street. "But I think it's kind of a bad thing, myself. Our (profit) margins don't change any. Just the amount of scrap we buy."
When Trade Mark bought the yard in January, it was shipping about 20,000 pounds of scrap out per month. This month, it topped 126,000 pounds, and the vast majority of that was the more valuable nonferrous metals, such as copper and aluminum, he said.The metals are sold to Tampa yards where the metals are shredded and loaded on ships, much of it for export.
Retiree Roger Millspaugh, however, was delighted with the $12.88 he earned from bringing in a garbage bag of aluminum and junk.
"Wow," he said. "I've got enough to buy beer and go fishing!"
For the scrappers, however, the rising price, which has climbed from $4 per 100 pounds to some $12 per 100 pounds, has proven more than an adequate incentive to clean up junk from the countryside.
"It's the only source of money around here," said Dan Feijoo. "Construction is dead. If it wasn't for this, more people would be having trouble."
"The most I've made is $835 for a load of aluminum," said Daniel Summerall of Arcadia, who was unloading part of an aircraft wing at Allied. To Summerall, who earns a living doing odd jobs, this means "good times."
"I ain't really had a job in the last two or three years," he said.
Prices have risen due to construction and manufacturing booms in China and India, said Sean Xu, content manager of the GlobalScrap.com Web site, an electronic trade publication.
India, a major importer of steel, even bought a salvage yard recently in Texas, so it could buy American ships to scrap, Xu said.
As the global demand for metal grew in the past few years, the "primary market" for investors, such as IMEX, which is a metals exchange market, heated up, and that drove up the price, he said.
However, Xu said the market's steep climb now appears to be tapering off.
In part, that's because construction has declined in the U.S. But the slowdown in construction, while it decreases demand for steel, aluminum and copper, also decreases the supply of scrap.
"Nobody's building new buildings, so we're not tearing down things to make room for them," Xu said. "That's where scrap comes from."
But Port Charlotte scrapper Stevens isn't worried.
"Scrapping never stops, because this is one of the most wasteful countries in the world," he said with a smile.

Fresh waster damaged VS Salt water damaged vehicles
Difference between saltwater and freshwater damaged vehicles
I wanted to take a minute to mention the differences between freshwater damage versus salt water damage. The main thing that a salt water flooded car does is rust out the car immediately. With in days you can look behind the rubber that is on the door and you will see rust starting to form. This is the salt starting to eat away at the metal on your car body.
Salt water damages your electrical connection in your car real bad. With in days the electric motors are trash. It’s all most like taking your car and dropping it into a vat of acid and quickly taking it out.
Fresh water flood damage is bad but no where near the same as salt water. With fresh water you can drain the all of your vehicles fluids, replace all the filters, and more then likely your vehicle will start an you will be able to drive it.
I don’t know of any junk yards that will purchase known salt water flooded cars. The damage is just to severe.
Nothing can be sold to the general public. The parts are either to corroded or the parts rust apart.
Thankfuly we can still get you a small amount of CASH for your junk vehicle with water damage. Schedule a Removal with us or call 503-935-7105

Oregon DEQ Issues Penalty to Scrap Metal Salvage Business
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has issued a $10,000 penalty to Sam Haines Enterprises, LLC, a scrap metal salvage business, for openly burning waste tires on property it leases near the eastern Oregon community of Haines.
After receiving a citizen complaint on Feb. 22, 2008, that tires were being burned at the property, DEQ contacted the Baker Rural Fire District. It did not conduct an inspection. However, local police and federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) staff observed the smoke and entered the property on their own initiative to investigate.
They reported to DEQ that two active fires at the site contained 10 burning tires. Steel belting from the remnants of at least 10 other tires that had been completely burned was also observed.
Sam Haines, the principal of Sam Haines Enterprises, and his company employees were present on the property but made no attempt to extinguish the burn piles until requested to do so by the BLM and police officials.
Tires, when burned, emit dense smoke plumes and thus pose a threat to the public and environment. The smoke creates a nuisance and poses a threat to the health of the young, elderly and those with respiratory conditions. Toxic chemical exposure can result from the substances found in the materials burned on the property.
Tire storage is regulated in Oregon. Sam Haines Enterprises is licensed by the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles to store a large number of tires on the property. However, the company did not take measures to ensure that the stored tires were protected from fire risks.
Haines Enterprises has appealed the penalty.
