Not sure why you're asking about a ton. Don't know the answer to that anyway, but I might have some insights for that $100 mark...

The only times I've ever made more than $100 on a run was with a couple buckets & boxes in the trunk of my car. One bucket was #2 copper, one was brass, one had aluminum heat sinks. The boxes had wires and electric motors, and I think I had a loose car battery in there too. Another time it was dirty fin instead of the battery. I don't remember all the specifics but it wasn't nearly a ton.
