The company I work for used to call in a guy with a flatbed who would haul away the old units at no cost to my company. My bosses thought they were getting a great deal. The straw that broke my back was when we dropped a thirty year old 70 ton McQuay unit on this guys truck, I asked him about the extent of his breakdown and he said he just took it to his yard and he got twice steel (I'm assuming he was talking about shred)price for it. According to specs that unit listed out at 14,000 lbs. probably around 3,000 in AL/CU coil alone. After that I set up with a crane service and a cartage service and I pay cash for these old units. Don't do any business with the company that employs me(don't want a conflict of interest issue), but I've got no shortage of supply from other companies in the industry. I break it down as far as I can, don't leave anything on the table, and have done fairly well for myself so far. I would like to say thanks to the SMF community for the knowledge that you have shared with me. Without that I would never have been able to take the steps that I did. Thank you all!
