The scrap prices here in Southwestern Colorado are lower than most other place. Im guessing it due to shipping costs. Do you think thats the case or is there some other reason?

[@tombuechel5225]

shipping = a pain in the mountains, and yes that is the problem

[@carlgodfrey2974]

@tombuechel5225 it's the only thing that made sense to me.

[@kriskelley7919]

Are scrapyards required to shred material before shipping it out of the country?

[@tombuechel5225]

No they are not!
