Default Scrap Price for Copper

The message
from "Autolycus" contains these words:

Cast aluminium 70p/kg
Rolled aluminium 85p/kg


Different alloys or something more cunning?

Dunno. I was expecting my carefully-rescued iron-free castings to be
worth more than odd bits of greenhouse shelf and double glazing frames.
It's all such an opaque process - scrapyard employees don't seem to be
employed for their communication skills, so you never really find what
they're looking for when they peer into the sacks and scribble on their
NCR pads.

Is there a business opportunity there? A scrap receiving point that
people could go to in their car, without risking their tyres or their
life, see a price list, and understand what they were paid - even if it
was half the price you get by mixing it with the skip lorries while
wearing your hard hat and high vis?
