I would like to thank everyone on the scrap metal forum! Yesterday i took in maybe half the weight i normally take in. Approximately 500 lbs total. Some of which was some uprepared #2 metal. I messed up on that one but learned my lesson. But everything else i learned here on the forum. And just with a little bit of goodies some motor weight, compressor weight and etc... I took in $175 thanks Scrap metal forum. This was a practice run. Im heading to the yard again tomorrow.
congrats tinman.....you must have had a lot of non ferrous to make that much with only 500 lbs.
It only gets better from here. Soak up as much knowledge and experience as you can.
Brain candy.
Off to a good start.
Nice practice run, tinman.
175 bucks! heck yeah
Thanks, and yeah and the three batteries helped out a little as well. The best part is i didnt short change myself on much other than insulated wire. And the unprepaired metal.
I'm going to piggy back on this thread.
I brought in my first load today also. Netted $98.00. 1500LBS of computer cases, and some coaxial.
Thanks also to everyone here, and the invaluable information you all provide.
High-five Tinman, we rock!
way to go WT
$98 / 1500lbs = .065/lb
That seems really low. What do you get per ton?
Thanks! And it's "WTA" White Trash Astronaut
That was the total. It was unprepared iron at $100/ton. Prepared iron is $200/ton Plus some other stuff. Went back the next morning with more wire and al, walked away with $198
That was my first run to the yard, and I wanted to check it out before I brought my higher priced stuff in. Great people, a lot better than the other company around here.
This was about 100 computers that I had broke down this winter, plus whatever I could scrounge. Total so far is over 600.00 and about $300 is going to be going to paying off some debt. WOOT!
That's quite the difference between prepared and unprepared. We get $200 unprep. and $240 prepped.
