its not getting worse, its being restored to the values it should be.

scrap has been overinflated in price for a few years.

Hopefully when the global demand for steel stabilises a bit, the scrap values will come down to a sensible level. Just need chinas economy to slow down a bit which it will as they are artificially keeping it busy at the moment, but they cant do that indefinitely.

then we can reduce all the illegal scrap men out there theiving metal off everyone and everything.
