The rims on those top bike look aluminum, are you pulling aluminum off of the bikes or just taking in whole as shred?
Depends on the bikes, Sometimes i do and sometimes i dont. I dont have to remove the tires from bike wheels so its easier some times.
Right there with you Greytruck...Why spend 5 minutes to make what...an extra quarter, if that. Just not worth it.Quote:

Nice load! You should look into a heavy duty net tarp it's like really thick netting as big as a tarp, strap it in tight with 2 straps and you don't need to worry/ spend time making sure your straps are in good spots and will hold it all down, also allows you to put lighter objects onto
See now thats a load I would like to have on a weekly basis, curb hunting here is slim pickings.
On a bit of a side note, you did get the copper out of that microwave... right?
Yeah i stripped out the microwave. I only open the side with the transformer, fan motor, wires, ect. and the tray motor on the bottom. Then I reseal it. I dont want to break that beryllium thing in the magnetron when I unload the truck. I leave the door on and fill it with empty soup cans and such.
Shed Trip
Not much to look at, but got to get rid of it. That stormdoor is stainless steel and there is a alum car hood on the bottom of the truck bed.

Nice load, was there any thing wrong with the bike? Other then the lack of seat (I guess you took that off).
I know you like the "quick flip" but that looked nice.
And about the mouse, well he lost his three brothers. Poor thing only one in the litter who could see. Death can change a mouse. :(
(fun little read about that rhyme)
The seat was gone when i found the bike. Also the back gear was bent up instead of down
"The clock struck one, and the other two got away with serious injurys"...
Nice pics greytruck, I will have some soon in return.

620 Lbs of shred. Looks like more but oh well. Also brought some alum and copper in the back seat (not shown)

It would be a good idea to save up and invest in a trailer.
Belive me i would, but im limited on space in the driveway.Quote:

Your prices are pretty comparable to us here except we get creamed in the shred steel (1 place for miles & miles and we're at the end of the line for anybody using it for new stuff). Light steel dropped to $90/nt yesterday. Our insulated wire has two prices but to get up near what you made, it has to be heavier gauge. Everything else is 65 cents a pound.
#2 Ins copper wire was always around .83, .88, or .90 a lb until another scrap yard opened and had better pricing. Now they are competitively pricing. There is another yard closer to me that will only pay .61 for #2 ins wireQuote:
