She's actually 24 and still a keeper. Yes, Rubys, good call, sir. Just scrapped one of our small SS sinks, about $14 extra bucks not including copper that came off. 304 is .45/lb here now. And about...

The sign itself is company property, just had to unbolt it from the post. Post wouldn't fit in the car I take to work, so I put it (by myself, 5' 10" 150#) in the back of the boss's Dakota. He even...

Since where I live in Middle Georgia is not exactly a booming metropolis, when something out of the humdrum ordinary happens it's a big deal. I work part-time at an upscale (for this area anyway)...

Just make sure all the pressure is bled out first, I listen till I don't hear any gas coming out. I used to also crush them in the vise so the yard wouldn't freak out, now I get soda can price since...

Welcome aboard, read all you can in these threads. Good Stuff. I lived in the Charlotte area for 10 years before I moved down here, loved it up there.

Yeah, sorry I meant just alum spray cans. Between my wife's hairspray, Febreeze, and others saved for me they add up. Some plastic tops pop off easier than others - Febreeze takes some prying, Old...

I get the regular can price for aerosol cans too, these just go in a separate bag. Fabreeze, body spray, hairspray, those types. Try salons and spas too, they go through a lot of them. I have a local...

My mom's dad was a dumpster picker from way back. Raised on a Wisconsin farm and a Navy Pilot (pre-WWII) he was always finding and fixing up cool stuff. When he retired to the Calif. woods in the 70s...

I've got some too, wasn't sure about them since the magnet didn't stick. How does plated brass go for usually, as compared to yellow brass, for example?

Thanks for sharing, Shen. WR is about 40 min. west. If you ever get near Dublin let me know. I'm looking to get more into escrap and have a few contacts here.

Not too many 6 year olds care what stuff is made out of. Like a Fabreeze spray can. Once she knew it was aluminum, she wanted to know how much it weighed, so we got out the jewelry scale and she...

They add up nice, especially when a load of shred, copper, etc. is lighter than usual. And I know how much extra I'll get when my can bin is full since it holds 60 lbs of crushed cans. .53/lb as of...

Did the dishes, checked on the sleeping baby, and went to bed.

Great Intro, always nice to see someone else from GA.

Same here in GA as of July 1st. Payment by check too.

Yes, this is worth money. Anywhere with fountain drinks uses these like Kochy said. All the pumps and lines look good. We have a bigger one at the chain restaurant I work at that holds 600 lbs. of...

Used textbooks = Good Cash. Post ads on campus. My EMT book was $90 used (10 years ago) A friend from class got his for$70 from, you guessed it a scrapper who was picking up a stove at an off-campus...

Yeah bear it aint going anywhere, I remember a friend a while back found two old brass lamps beat to hell on the curb, wiring was shot. Cleaned em up, rewired, got $115 on ebay from a retro decor...

So I'm OK with not having a truck right now. The one I borrow can drop some more shred in the pile by the well and we'll wait a spell on a better price. Time for more breakdown anyway. A friend just...

Thanks key, when I heard about other guys (not on SMF) separating just a few hundred pounds of clean tin out when they had shred right along with it, it didn't seen worth the effort to me. Besides,...

No, I know they usually get mixed in together. I was just curious if there were ever instances where someone would have enough weight in the tin alone for it to effect pricing (I've heard of cases...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Wish I had enough for you olddude, some of it is rough cut at tapered angles, wonder what's up with that since I've never seen any tin roofs around here like that...

Hi everybody, first I want to thank all the regular contributors for all the info on the forums that has given me a good scrapping education so far since I registered last week, and more pointers...

I appreciate the confirmation. Now I better get it cleaned up before the wife sees another teardown in the house. She'll be like "You couldn't do like a toaster oven or something...?" lol Thanks...

Hi everybody, new member here, introduced myself in that forum today. I have my old well pump from when the motor gave out 2 years ago. I know its stainless and can't get all the way into the motor...
