    Some Recent Hauls

    I haven't posted in a while on here and I dont really get on here much anymore but since my company changed ownership to Upscale Recycling I thought I would post some of the hauling we did last year as well as a few images of the current load waiting to be picked up.

    Below is a load of shelf's, displays, etc... and misc metal:


    The scrap load the morning it was picked up - Scrap was 11,340 lbs


    Other side of the scrap pile from the night prior to pickup:


    A load of Ewaste from a health clinic (2 computers are not pictured):


    Metal being loaded by AIM Recycling of Bangor Maine - Fee to pickup was $250 and dealer pricing was $115 / ton in December ($10 over walk in price per ton)




    Current scrap pile with more coming soon once the snow melts enough:


    The Toyota getting dropped off for scrap:


    The ewaste I was referred to from one of my largest clients in Washington County. We have also added several more contracts since these images were taken. I will get images of the vehicles as we bring them back for scrap since were moving locations in the spring this will be the last load from this lot in April. I had more images but I never thought of transferring them to my laptop.

    All metal shown is from the same job site plus a few outside jobs. We have over 30,000lbs still coming from that job site. The job is expected to be done by August of this year. For anyone wondering everything has to be signed off as recycled so were not allowed to resell anything from the properties.

    The ewaste included over 20 desktops, 50lbs of laptops, several servers, switch boards, printers, phones, UPS Backups and more. The truck was over 1250lbs and that was a 50 mile trip each way but I can say we pulled a good profit off the job since I was able to resell two 15in monitors for $50 for the pair. I still have the power supplies, brown boards, laptops, and other items waiting to be included in a freight load out of here in the spring.

    Thought I would post a few hauls since I dont get on here much. No I dont have the bus from a old thread anymore my cousins employee took care of it since I had to many jobs last year and was out of a truck for a while due to a bad engine.

    For anyone interested the truck I have now pictured is a 1995 Ford F150 300 l6 Automatic (wish it was a manual). Should be adding a trailer soon since my old one ended up as scrap metal due to a bad axle.
