Took another small load of shred last week, still was at 200/ton. I forgot to take a picture of that load, but I was sweeping out the bed, turned around and the claw was just a couple feet off of my bumper. I know the operator probably has hundreds if not thousands of hours but it startled me for sure to see him that close.

Here's a pic of the claw in action!

*That is NOT my mower, I most likely would have fixed it or broken it down better. I hate to see what people throw in the shred pile.

Added some sides to the truck, found the closet shutters on my way back to the house with a full truck, perfect fit! They are quick and dirty, later I'll make em a little more purty. I actually like em, the louvers are placed so that you can sorta see through them when you look out the back window, so that's cool.

Well big trash "day" was in my town this week. Rounded up 5 loads that I loaded into a storage unit for further processing. I want my neighbors to like me in the morning, so I'll keep the biz offsite as much as possible.

Took another load of shred in that wouldn't fit in the unit, most of it was found in one little neighborhood! Price dropped 25% down to 150/ton

Hoping it comes back up like ya'll folks are talking about.

Loaded a huge load of shred from the unit today, of course I haven't taken the picture yet. It makes room for another town's spring clean up that is spread across four Saturdays! Gotta have an empty truck to do well at CurbCo.

My main focus of the business will be e-waste and other recycling, but right now I'm striking while the iron is hot during spring clean ups. I have picked up lots of non-ferrous and some e-waste as well, but it will have to wait to be processed.

Here we go!

Took another load of shred in last week, again at 150/ton, 680 lbs!

That load made room for a night of curb shopping in my original hometown. Theirs is spread across 4 different Saturdays, this load is from the first.
Several computers, 2 lawn mowers, all kinds of goodies besides scrap, some stuff my mom picked up as well, and a rain barrel!
I don't know how many grills we passed, had to be at least 50, not kidding. I just don't have room for them as of yet.
Saw a few other scrappers out, but plenty for everyone. It seems alot of other scrappers are not very thorough. They miss culdesacs and don't seem to stop and go through piles, where a lot of goodies are hidden. More for me!

I just LOVE surprises, picked up a stack of flower pots for my gardening, and this was in between a couple stacks!

Till next time!

I Took in a shred load from the first of four Spring Clean Ups pictured above, forgot the pic on that one. It was about 600 pounds.

Took in the next load today. 580lbs still at 150/ton. It was the little I picked from the clean up I missed last week, some stuff my Mom sourced for me, the rest of the shred in my storage unit, and the smoker on the top that was at CurbCo around the corner from my house.

Now I have room in my unit and an empty pickup bed for this, the third week of the clean up.

I promise Ill get to some more interesting stuff when I start processing the items for resell and teardown.

One of the mowers I picked has a fuel leak at the gas tank, and needs an air filter. Ran like a wild pony without the filter, started right up. Swap meet here I come!!
