    About how many tons of stuff was the "small stuff"? And what do you think the big equipment weighs?

    Better than the dump!

    I would have to look at my receipts to get a total on the smaller equipment. I hauled 24 loads total and probably averaged around 1000lbs per load. But I also hauled a whole truck load of wire and 120 lbs of number one copper.

    I think the big equipment weights no less than 100,000 pounds. But the guy from CFS and a guy from another scrap yard both estimate 130,000-150,000.

    Oh and it turns out that along with cats and stripped copper wire, scrap yards can't buy aluminum loading ramps. I asked if they needed to be cut in half before I brought them in and they informed me they can't buy them. But I guess they will make pretty awesome ramps for my forklift.
