Guess the weight, white metal edition

**NHscrapman** · 08-01-2015, 10:10 AM

Skimmed the top of the aluminum piles and this weeks cans to take some of the bite out of 2 new tires for the truck.
You guys are too good with the steel so thought I'd throw you a curveball .
most of the cans are crushed 4 bags, underneath there is quite a pile of shower door frames and camper trim and some siding
way more than a 5 gallon bucket of heat sinks only a small bucket of irony AL.

Kind of hard to get a good look, but from what I can see and your description I'd say about 220-240

**greytruck** · 08-01-2015, 12:20 PM

Tricky, But i would guess 180

**DakotaRog** · 08-01-2015, 12:59 PM

Enough to put some coin in your pocket, even if the prices are down

**ScrappinRed** · 08-01-2015, 01:24 PM

245 total

**bigburtchino** · 08-01-2015, 05:14 PM

I don't see any cast aluminum so will way in at about 210-220 my guestimation!

**Kalvlin** · 08-01-2015, 06:13 PM

I'll guess 215 ?? A couple buckets of CPU heat sinks can add up

**scrapping4ever** · 08-01-2015, 06:29 PM

238?

**MattInTheHat** · 08-01-2015, 06:47 PM

300. I have some my share or aluminum loads. a plastic 55 gal drum of extruded adds up quickly

**hobo finds** · 08-01-2015, 07:06 PM

222

**Tincankeith** · 08-01-2015, 07:58 PM

185lb

**diggydiggy** · 08-01-2015, 08:47 PM

I wish I were more optimistic but I am going to say 130.

**Abuilder** · 08-01-2015, 09:51 PM

I'll go 140 seeing it's a mix of cans & low grade sheet.

**Flinthills** · 08-01-2015, 11:14 PM

I'll try 198

**ChildhoodDream** · 08-02-2015, 08:26 AM

On Krypton where Superman is from it could weigh 790 pounds.

**NHscrapman** · 08-02-2015, 08:32 AM

I'll post weights tonight

**NHscrapman** · 08-02-2015, 07:36 PM

You guys are good

AL cans 64 lbs
6063 extrude 85 lbs
Irony Al 17 lbs
old AL 101 lbs
cast AL 12 lbs
total 279 lbs
Winner Mattinthehat
also had 69 lb bucket of motors and 75 lbs of wire in the front.
My pics sucked if you saw clearly the bucket behind the washer tub is a dishwasher tub crammed to the max with old sheet and that sheet and extrude pile under the cans..
It was worth the trip for as little as I took

**bigburtchino** · 08-02-2015, 07:52 PM

What did you for the 6063 per pound?

**NHscrapman** · 08-02-2015, 08:31 PM

extrude is at $.40
cans still at $.30 been there a few weeks now
old and cast $.35
they hooked it up for the wire giving me .10 above quoted price

I put my wire into the bags pellets for a pellet stove come in, there nice heavy duty bags and you can cram a lot of wire into one..the best part is they are sized to be palletized
It's kinda fun just grabbing a bucket of this or that as I haven't sold much besides cans since the winter plunge.

I don't know and I don't care-how about stop posting "guess the weight" threads-most of us don't care.
