Haven't asked scrap yards about those, but we have been selling our magnetic ballasts for $0.17/lb. We have had thousands when we remodel the schools during the summer, and it adds up quick.
The last time I haul it in like what 220/221 did I got little over 60 cents per pound unless you strip the copper off from the core then it will kick up even higher.
I just haul out scrap ballast and I am getting 9 Euros per KG.
Wow you guys are lucky, here in Hawaii for the past 5 years i haven't been able to recycle insulated aluminum (let alone a ballast). Just wired the scrap yard owners house and guess what, i can recycle my scrap aluminum now.(all 1200 pounds of it) I forget what price we agreed on but anything is better than having pile of scrap wire in the shop.
