Scrapping several trailers on one property. Need Advice! (With Pics)

We still have the siding. It takes up so much space for what it weighs that I'm still deciding on the best way to deal with getting it down to the scrap yard.




I have some galvanized pipe on the property that is twisted up with dirt in it. How does that get weighed? Do they count the mud inside it? Will the scrap yard want to pay a lower rate on the whole load if it's in the trailer?


We bought a sawsal and a new sledge hammer today. I broke the sledge hammer we were using on the steel frame. I learned today that I could break the welds with it. I just need to be more careful. (No handle was available.)



The sawsal looks like it will be able to handle everything from here. Depending on the weather we hope to make some good time tomorrow.

The scrap yard will still probably pay normal mixed metal rates for the pipe. But just in case, you might want to mix it in with some other stuff. As for the siding, strap a few pieces on top of everything when you go to your yard. It doesn't take up much room and it helps hold stuff down. Other than that, good luck and keep posting
