Purchases Near 200 Tons per Week at Stubblefield Salvage and Recycling, LLC

One hundred, seventy tons of scrap metal were purchased at Stubblefield Salvage and Recycling, LLC in Walla Walla last week. This is five times the weekly volume of scrap metal purchased only four months ago.

Although commodity markets have fluctuated during the summer of 2009, prices for used scrap metal at Stubblefield Salvage and Recycling, LLC has remained relatively stable. "In the case of some nonferrous metals, prices have actually gone up --making it more attractive for scrap collectors and scrap haulers. We have seen a steady increase in the number of loads brought to our processing center," said Lily Shoop-Stubblefield, Chief Executive Officer.

In the coming week, the price of ferrous scrap metals is expected to decrease up to one half cent per pound, but not significantly. This change is not likely to impact the intake volume at the metal processing center.

Copper, brass, aluminum, auto and truck battery prices remain high and demand is strong at the processing center located at 980 NE Myra Road in Walla Walla, Washington.  Watch for an increase in price for these scrap products.

High volume repeat customers and partners are paid slightly higher prices.
