Subject:Re: Value of a Rolling Chasis to a scrap yard

Interesting. Two years ago scrap iron yards were only paying $110CDN/ton
here in Toronto. It has gone down since.

Port cities apparently pay significantly more, since a yard near the docks
can cube the vehicle and send it directly to a ship. The next time you see
it will be at Walmart, and probably NOT in the parking lot.
