    was i taken

    To day was interesting I loaded up with some thing i never did before , with a shovel 810 lb of metal turnings. it was steel with a little AL the yard used a magnet to pick up so some AL was left over
    the Turnings went on to the short pile . The bottom line is - I was only paid $64 for 810 lb to me thats a rip off as a mix load has in my opinion less actual metal considering plastic is often on a item that is put to the mix . Since they put it to short it's clearly valuable to them.
    So was i taken ?
    there is another batch looks like 1000 lb its rusty so it is steel , If it was not such a nasty item to keep around i could load it as filler with my regular load for about .11 I could put around 50 lb with out to much complaint NOT 1000
