A midwestern state, Ohio, is very populated, with over 11.5 million residents, and ranks 7th in the United States. The capital of Ohio is Columbus, the largest city, but the most extensive metro area is Cleveland. It was entered into the union in 1803 as the 17th state. Ohio ranks 34th in the nation, but the density is ranked 10th. The state’s name was native to the Iroquois Native Americans, meaning “great river” or “large creek,” which relates to the Ohio River on the state’s southern border. Despite being named after the state, the river is mainly controlled by West Virginia and Kentucky. With Indiana to the west and Pennsylvania to the east, Ohio is strategically placed on the shores of Lake Erie, which allows a great deal of exporting and importing through the state’s ports. Ohio is a busy state when it comes to scrap metal, so knowing the current scrap prices is essential. Some scrap yards listed on the iScrap App list their scrap prices on their profile. However, users and customers can post prices themselves. Customers who recently visited a scrap yard can report current scrap prices they were paid for their metals.
Ranked among the highest for businesses in the country, Ohio has a very business-friendly tax system and an excellent small-business system. Manufacturing and financial sectors make up most of the economy while catering to trade, utilities, and transportation.
