    CH, does he ever get any towers in with his trash pickup? I'm working with two trash companies buying their towers and other computer scrap, but I don't pay much cause of the damage to them.

    That's exactly why I talked to these two trash companies, they were only getting shred price for the towers, and now their making from $2. to $4. ea. at average 20lb. X .10 = $2.00 so their making a little more.

    Keeping my fingers crossed 4 55 gal drums 2 AL 1 is brass and AL one is steel AL
    took a small sample for the yard the Brass item one little bag 6 in X 5 in 1 lb , I feel there must be a lot of weight in that drum . I will have to pay - not sure of the split I should ease into. irony brass is .93

    I brought in a bag of brass shavings there is some AL and some steel but it has 90% brass as the eye can see - This item they want to put it under copper bearing
    this is a 55 gal drum filled to the top does any one think this is valid as to go under CB

    So far no one yet will take it as dirty brass . They must be sincere unless if I brought it in , & it never goes to CB. I can find use for it say they only go CB i can mix some more steel shavings and keep it CB still I wonder what 110 gallons of metal shavings weighs. The small sandwich bag weighed 1 lb. 55 gallons of oil weighs 500 lb . I guess i could fill the same size sandwich bag with oil and figure it out
