    I take my shred in when I fill my pick up truck. It usually ends up being between 800 to 1000 lbs. The only time I bring in less weight is if get a lot of bulky steel. I just want to get rid of it then. Last price was $100/ GT for Lt Iron (shred). It's worth it for me to keep my customers happy.

    Where are you getting 100 for light iron. local yards are 75 to 90. Can go to Albany for 146, but need a lot to make it worthwhile.
