Hi I think there is about 10 tonne or more from this lot ive done some break downs on some of the bigger stuff 1 was 47% copper and another big one was 70% copper some ill run threw the wire stripper the smaller stuff ill granulate when my new machine arrives.Im hopeing for about 3 to 4 tonnes #1 and #2 at $6.600 per tonne and $5.500 per tonne im stoked.My next door neighbor just droped of anouther 3 tonnes the other day as well im in copper paradice, ill keep you posted also at the moment this is still a part time job happy scrapping

I hope so I plan to ship at lest 10 tonne copper then as much brass as I can find and then fill the rest with ali and radiators.Where are you In NZ im a Mangere boy my self thats where I started to do scrap with my dad 40 odd years ago , its been in my viens ever since.This is a peice of brass I got today out of a crusher plant 123kgs .

for a part time job, u seem to be doing quite well
makes me wonder what u could do if u went into scrapping full time?

just remember:
when u eventually get paid- dont spend it all in one place!

Ive thought about going full time but ive got a great job that I love and all the crane truck , manato and wharehouse space for $25.00 aweek and they pay pretty good to , im a lucky chap and loyal to the ones that are good to me , im not religious but beleave that what goes around comes around .Ive chased the big bucks , its all about life style to me now.
