The Michigan Manufactured Housing Association is coordinating a mobile home salvaging
operation for the Association’s state member-dealers. [5] For a $100.00 fee a dealer can bring an
obsolete home, generally taken in trade, to “Ferrous Processing & Trading” in Detroit. Ferrous
reduces the intact mobile home into approximate 12' section, and those sections are sent through a
automobile shredder. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are separated and collected, while the
residual shredded waste is destined for the landfill, often being used as cover material. A typical
12' x 60' mobile home will produce about eight cubic yards of waste, and one or two cubic yards
of scrap metal. The current value of the metals is $200-$400 which is compensation for waste
disposal and other program costs.
