Good garbage day in the suburbs...

This week I actually went out every night to get stuff to break down to tide me over until I get to go pick up a few washers. Monday and Tuesday were ok, but not great. Old metal vacuum. Would of tried to sell as antique but they did some major damage to it and figured it wouldn't be worth trying to find an antique dealer looking for it. Got a few small things. Wed. and Thursday were awful. Only thing we found was a metal racking but upon closer inspection, there was a crappy cloth diaper stuck to it and we decided, NOPE, we don't need it that bad.

Got a bit of aluminum from what we did find and finished breaking into alot of small pieces that we have let go for awhile because they would be time consuming. Obtained about 5 extra pounds of aluminum, 10 on copper #2 and about an extra 10# of brass from the little projects.

Cool to hear bi-county pays $10 for batteries, they must be decent with other commodities then...

Arrow doesn't get nuts with how clean the scrap is either... reg steel price for washers even though they have that cement piece screwed inside them, etc. Also I like that they give you a printed recent with everything you scrapped, its weight, what they pay per lb, and what you got.

i got very little that rainy garbage day last week to... 1 stainless steel dishwasher & a treadmill was pretty much it.... still $46 combined

i will be putting that pocketwatch i mentioned in the first post on ebay tomorrow... so far have i craigslist bids up $250, a jeweler offered $175....but i think i can get at least $400 on ebay though
