    Cool YEA cleaned my truck and got $$

    I cleaned my truck out front and back and found:
    2 lbs #1 copper at $2.50 = $5.00
    3 lbs of clean brass at $1.30 = $3.90
    10 lbs of steel at $0.10 = $1.00
    5 lbs of alu at $0.50 = $2.50
    2 lbs of alu cans at $0.55 = $1.10
    TOTAL = $13.50




    for just cleaning my truck it took about an hour to do it so good day off I am having How many others have done this and found scrap in the truck you forgot about.

    I did just yesterday, a box full of 3.5 drives for the shred and a bunch of wire that I had forgotten about.

    Do you cut the pins off before you throw them in??

    All I find when I clean out my truck are empty Big Gulp cups, McDonalds bags, cash register receipts and maybe a few dried up french fries if I am lucky.
