Question 1. They typically recover them, look up material recovery facility. They also typically bale them.

Question 2. A scrap yard or end user depending on the amount.

Plate and structural

Are you looking for second use pipe? Any specific lengths or dimensions?

Yes, I think the EPA was looking into lower the restrictions on shredder residue, I don't know for sure if it happened.

Hello,

I should start off with a little background information. I obtained a masters in mechanical engineering before I entered the scrap business, my personal area of expertise was numerical...

Safety glasses and ear plugs/muffs

If you got a good enough relationship with your local yard you may be able to sell them as a higher grade aluminum breakage or as aluminum. Sans boards of course

Hello,

Those portable shredders are typically a little small in the auto shredding business. They'd work good for white goods and sheet iron. To really get a good throughput you'd want to be...

I have used OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, puppy linux, fedora/redhat and even the dreaded Gentoo. I have also done light systems administration on several of those distro's (mostly SUSE) and even have a custom...

That old IBM seems to be missing a hard drive (or the hard drive is broken).

Bootstrapping is usually just shortened to boot.

If you can find a bootable floppy it might work (looks like it...

Is the dust magnetic?

That is essentially what I thought. Thank you for the response.

Hello all,

Recently and in the past, I have sold heavy equipment counterweights as cast iron and got a low price compared to either cast prices or even shred. I am wondering if there is a way to...

There may be a serial port on the controller (9 pins a row of 5 and a row of 4) that would be were you would test the machine. But as martyweil said, you'd need emulation software (or a in depth...

The power supply should be easily testable, and then you can test to see if the other one powers up.

It's a PLC (programmable logic controller).

Edit: beat to it :(

Sure sure

Are you timing it or just guessing? Your numbers seem whacked.

The original xbox 360 had a 20 gig hdd others were 60, 120, 250 or 320 gig.

I remember a darpa challenge a couple years ago about reconstructing shredded documents, i wouldn't be surprised to see a similar methodology applied to reconstructing hard drive platters.

I make similar mistakes all the time as well.

My undergrad was Mech. Engineering so x,y,z confuses me so I changed the variable names so I could do my math easier.

Grad school was AI/MI/Robotics/C++ but mostly was Image Processing (using MI...

Your %'s are wrong. They should all be the same.

Also if you want to do any DOE (design of experiments) based on price, you should express weight as a dimensionless ratio (removes a variable)....

Simple, don't compare apples and oranges. Convert the prices to a uniform measure and sell your material accordingly.

I don't understand your methodology.

Equations should be,
Short: $/2000
Long: $/2240

That will give you price per pound for each. Directly compare those two (the units are the same).

Btw...
