    Around 150 to 200 lbs of pump motors and parts

    On thursday dad brought me home about 150 to 200 lbs of pump motors and parts. I know they would have more value if not sold for scrap ,but I was given them for scrap and scrap only.Will try and post pics sometime in the next 24 hours.

    Nice little score. Are you splitting the scrap money with him or something? I'm not really following why you aren't allowed to sell them as working parts.

    Be careful with those. Some yards won't buy whole as cbm. I would break them down and cut the windings, they have a good chunk of copper of your talking about the larger types.

    All of the ewaste I get is given to me for free. Most of it is given under the condition that it will be scrapped and not resold so I understand.

    Good to see you're still around and scrapping.
