    Smile Mobile home in Canton, KS for scrap

    Anyone in the Kansas area interested in scrapping a couple of mobile homes? My wife purchased a mobile home park with two large mobile homes on it that need to be scrapped and she is having trouble finding someone to take care of them. There is a lot of steel underneath them and I think she just wants them gone.
    Both are located in Canton Kansas. They are too old to sell and move so need to be scrapped out.

    Good luck with that. They are a pita and no one wants them.

    You want to put me up in a hotel and fly me out, I will take care of them for you. Split it down the middle as long as you provide food, trucks, tools, etc. :>

    Talk with the fire department.

    They might like them for practice. Scrap out the pipes / wire / alum from the inside and the siding. Then ask the fire department if they would like to burn the mobile homes.

    My mother had an old barn and house cleared from some property we owned this way. They even fully cleaned up all the left over junk. Came in with a dump truck and a front end loader

    with the rising cost of fuel oxy and such it is getting very marginal scrapping mobiles. it is a 2 man job really, and unless they are whole, including fixtures etc. its like scrapping an empty computer case only a whole lot harder and a week longer. if you have to get rid of the dabris it is probably a looser.

    The only way this is going to be profitable is this:
    strip out copper wire and plumbing
    aluminum siding and roof, if there.
    burn trailer to the ground.
    recover frame.

    Repeat

    Anything else, you are spending too much.
    Everyone one of you is 2 minutes too late.
