    Poor mans trailer/storage

    I have seen a lot of folks say they do not mess with iron/steel as they do not have the room for it. Here is an idea to think about. If you have a hitch on your vehile to pull a trailer, look into one of those trailers made out of a pickup bed. You can process (remove all the non-ferrous materials) the scrap, then throw the iron in the trailer bed for storage. After you have it filled up, hook up and take it to the scrap yard. You can put stuff on it as you get it (and do not have to do a big job of loading it when you are ready to take it in), and can put it in the back or side yard so it is out of sight. I live in the country, and do that with a 16ft flat bed. I will process the scrap I recieve, then put the iron on the flatbed until it is filled up. Since aluminum is the second largest metal I receive, I also purchased a pickup bed trailer (cost was $50) and put the aluminum in there for storage. When it is filled up I will hook up and haul it to the scrap yard.
