Once my bigger trailer is full (cast/light/sheet) I take it in, whether its days or more. If I have several full containers of other stuff I will take them along the same day, otherwise I stuff them in my truck next time I take a trailer load in.

I start breaking the stuff down /cleaning around 8 then by noon ready to take a drive as I get board and to make the residence look better. Then back to the grind and off to scrapper again by 4 before they close.

Once a week or less. I might go often when prices are higher, but ice and snow covering scrap may reduce my volume.

I only go to the yard on days that end with y.

I usually only go about 2-3 times a month to the yard, depends really on what i get through the week.

one trip to the transfer station every day, 8-12 tv's per load.

I dump at the scrap yard usualy 5-6 times a week but we do appliances and they take up a lot of space at full capacity i can only transport 11 refrigerators in the truck and trailer at any one time. but i have never had 11 refrigerators in a day ever. we do maybe 12 a week.

Once a week or every two weeks depending on my work schedule and the weather (Rain/Heat)

i love saving up for 2-3 months mind you i am small compaired to others here but i sell then go to auctions with a hand full of cash and buy pallets of computers which sometimes is a gamble but it makes for 3-5 times my money that way so what i like saying is i turn copper into gold lol

Roughly 2x month. More or less depending on how prices are and how fast the trailer fills up. 2 to 4 tons ferrous monthly. E-waste& non ferrous ranges greatly month to month. Part time , I do have a partner we split 50/50.

**c4f5** · 09-08-2012, 11:28 PM

About 2x a month to the scrap yard. about 1x a month to non ferrous buyer. Every 6-9 months on batteries, and about every 12-18 months to the core buyer.

I've three types of run..

One My Metal, I usally do a metal run, once a month.. but I bring about 4 tons of steel..

Plastic is My second.. depending on what in the warehouse for scrapping, but I take that to My recycle center and give it away

and lastly, I take my goods, the cream of the crop.. I do that one every two months,

usally about 7 tons of goodies, From Batteries.. make sure you tape the contact.. to Mobo, to harddrives, to flop and drive,

to ballast, to low grade to high grade, to power supplies to laptops. I usally bring in going to range this,

anywhere from 9 to 14 thousand dollar..

Hope that helped.
