My Scrapping Adventures In My 1966 Chevy!

Well today I took in my load of metal, wire, Recyclables cans,bottles I had accumulated from breaking every thing down washers dryers,tv,computers etc:






Then went back to the house where I pulled two loads of metal out previously and came home with about 12-13 tv's and monitors! I never scraped them before but read up on here and watched a couple youtube videos so I'm gonna give it a shot....the only part about tv's and monitors I think will be discouraging is all the left over waste after getting the wire out as of now I only have my garbage bin that I will break most of it down over a period of time, can you put the plastic casings in the recycle bin??? buddys having a curb clean up soon so might ditch alot there also....:


Untill next time! Happy scrapping!!

My dog pees on my scrap to when im not looking.
I've thought about bagging my truck to lower the tailgate for ease of loading scrap and my bike.

LOL! too funny!.....It is nice with the air bags, with the tail gate down I can also ride the riding mower right up and load it with out ramps! it does quite handys having them..

Well heres newest scrap metal load!

A 1950 Plymouth 4 door special deluxe! 3 out of the 5 members of my car club own 49-52 mopars,we ended up picking this car up dirt cheap, it had basically all the parts to put it back together but we bought it to use the parts to make at least three other cars in my club better, and im selling alot of parts on ebay and craigslist to goto other cars so I didnt feel bad about cutting this one up to much! the frame,fenders,doors,dash,glass,seats,motor and trans,drivline,rear end, etc etc... will all still be used I just cut up the main body(had some rust issues) and hauled it off for scrap...

Picking up the 50 plymouth with some club members:






got it to my cousins house to cut it up and store all the useable parts:


Got to use my air bags to level out my truck on his steep driveway to make it easier to load:


and heres the body cut up into my truck right before I took it in today:


Untill next time guys!

I have been thinking about getting into cardboard and pallet recycling my self and live in Sacramento.. Does anyone in town have any tips or info they would care to share, please send me a message to my inbox.. I have not started with it because I am not sure if there is really a profit to be made like metal recycling... Thanks in advance

Tip #1 dont take my pallets!

LOL nah but really I just got into pallets myself,grab only 40x48" , 2 way pallets only bring a dollar and 4 way pallets depending if they ar #1 or #2 will bring $2-$3 the guy runs a ad on Craigslist and has two locations one in rio linda/north highlands and another in west sac he pays the most that I found so far, broken and missing boards are ok , I just grab them when I see them havent found a place to supply me yet but i just stack them on the side of my house and after awhile they add up and its extra money in the gas tank for me..

and for card board I thought about it but havent done anything yet besides look up a few locations that buy it on the web in Sacramento......
