Do you weigh your scrap before you take it?

Only so much scrap,on a 21 mile Island. my issue is that I will be shipping tonnage, different kinds of metal all separated and packaged. And should I invest in a scale or are the yards trustworthy? Thanks for for the reply though.

That's interesting but doesn't surprise me any. I trust the yard I go to so if you ever feel the need to ship anything to NY, ship it to me to take to the yard as my yard doesn't accept packages(not to say there aren't other yards members use that would fit this bill also). Regarding a scale, we use the metric ton and if you're going after a scale I'd look into a Hobart hanging scale with a bucket.
