In any case, perhaps you find it often and maybe one of the tubs could be for zinc?? I also read on oil and precious metal websites that zinc prices will be increasing over the next few years due to several mine closures. Could be some appetite from yards coming soon.
Thank you for the insight. I do come across zinc periodically, but not enough to dedicate a chemical tote. Zinc goes into 20 gallon mineral tubs, something I have not talked about much.



My system (not claiming it is the best, but the one I use) most material is put into five gallon buckets. When I have enough of a certain material it is transferred into the 20 gallon mineral tubs. When I have enough a chemical tote is dedicated to a specific item. Earlier it was stated that non ferrous was hauled once a year. That claim cannot be made for the last two years because of prices and other projects. Therefore the shed is getting full.
