Really if you had to drive 5 blocks for 1000#, you'd charge the guy for picking it up ? I wished I lived in your area, I'd make enough off charging people that I'd just haul the metal to the dump. Youll wouldn't last one week in this neck of the woods. Not hating on you all for making money just amazes me how you charge to pickup something of value and here everyone wants 500$ for a junk geo metro and 300$ paid to them for every ton of steel collected. Just crazy is all, I make what I can when I can and let a lot of stuff go because it's too high.
