Junked cars cheap, a Lorain County problem and industry
In Lorain County junked autos flood roadsides as scrap iron prices fall to about five dollars a ton. Owners get five to fifteen dollars per car at McGuire Auto Parts, while wholesalers like The Universal Joint stock about 800 late-model cars. Wooster Iron & Metal buys seventy-five to one hundred cars weekly, converting them into bale steel for melting, with the fragmatizer grinding remaining hulks. Cities pursue fencing junkyards since Lady Bird Johnson’s 1964 remarks.
