    40 yard roll off containers for scrap metal

    Hey guys,



    I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using roll off containers for their scrap metal. I'm working with a mix of light iron (shred ) and heavier stuff like brake rotors and #1 steel uppd. Looking to load about 15 - 17 tons into a 40 yard roll off. The metal is compacted so that it would take up less space in the box when it ships out.

    We use containers for everything else at my job and they seem to work pretty well but it might be a different story when it comes to scrap metal. Is it feasible to do ?

    Not really looking to maximize profit. The main goal is to keep the stuff that collects at the metals pile moving in and out of the facility in a more timely & efficient way. The pile gets pretty big this time of year with so much coming in so fast. Don't have the available space to stockpile it till things slow down and prices go back up next winter.

    Gotta turn-n-burn to stay ahead of it all.
