Well just went out for a trash night looksee and found 2 aluminum doors that weigh a ton! and a box filled with wire, most is solid and some is junk also found a random bit of regular junk but the non ferrus I found is worth id say about 50 alone of just aluminum and i have yet to dig into my box of copper.
Sounds like a sweet haul.
Is the door solid alum, or alum skin over a wood core?
nice haul! keep it up!
Way to go...Keep on scrappin...HaHaHa
NIce job sounds like a good night
Oh yeaa I was honestly expecting nothing because there wasnt anything last week. But hey I got some good weight of steel and that dor is SOLID aluminum i just need to knock out this glass on one of them and break of a roller. Now im just hoping the thursdaynight trash that is in a bigger area will trump this one.... gonna try to empty my truck tomorrow.
Just an update, looking at that box of wire most of it IS solid house wire so i am in great shape right now, this is gonna be atleast 40 dollars of copper.
Amazing isn't it? People might as well open their wallet and throw money in the trash. But hey, it works out better for us scrappers when folks don't know any better!Quote:

The bucket of #1 sold for 45 and another 15 for junk wire, and 16 for the aluminum and another 15 for the light load of junk I had.
91 bucks not bad!
Hey It was about 4 hours total including stripping wire so im happy as can be
