dont remember the number exactly but it was 600+ alum wheels we had took off our cars, all profit as the cars were already scrapped.
EDIT just in case my post is confusing thats $600 not 600 wheels i wish it was tho

How did I miss this thread. I am not going to say how much I have made from taking in stuff or anything like that but I have more of a question. Is it wrong for me to say I am not rolling out of bed for less then a 1000 dollars a day? I get out of bed five times a week every week. I never like to discuss money and bragging just makes you sound like a d-bag. Some people have had some great scores though on this forum. Keep up the excellent work. Hard work always pays off.

Experienced Scrapper
Had a friend who was a super at a plant that was closing. He was responsible for getting all the machinery shipped out and disposing of what was left over as he saw fit. He asked me my advice on scrapping and I said "let's do it!" 300lbs of copper piping, 700lbs of mostly insulated #2 and BX cable and the heavier stuff stripped down to about 400lbs stripped of #1 bare bright, a lot of it 600v wiring. One load to the yard involved the piping and all the insulated which yielded about $1200. The payload in the minivan was close to a half a ton (I call it my truck with a permanent cap). The total proceeds from the job was around $3000 which was split 50/50.

I'm not sure I could give an actual answer to this question. My scrap yard drops an 80 yard dumpster on our property and we fill it from our junk removal runs. It gets emptied every week in the summer months, maybe once per month this winter. (This is in our Michigan location.)

God is great, scrap is good, and people are crazy
Its better to be scrapping and thinking of God than sitting in church thinking of scrapping

A few months after the flood in upstate NY, I took in 2 dumptruck loads of flooded appliances my dad replaced. That was about $550, plus another $200 from all the other things I stripped out of them
