Walmart has given me some whenever I nicely ask them. I usually get the ones that watermelons or pumpkins come in. I have a business relationship with all the stores in my area, so that helps.

FYI....I have by business on file at the scrap yard, so they're used to be bringing in high voltage wire from house demos thar we do....Exe....the line from the pole to the house that disconnected...
So how about this scenario.....I passed by about 600 feet of aluminum power lines that was left behind from about 5 weeks ago. This is line that was knocked down by fallen trees from the recent...
There's not much difference between clean cast and dirty aluminum where I'm at (NC). A month ago there was a 4 cent difference $0.34 versus $0.31. There's a lot of motors out there that don't...
So.....we all know why steel prices have taken a dive, but why copper? I know that when it was around $4 a pound, they attributed the high prices to a low supply of copper from the South American...
If it's an aluminum door frame, bend it and break it to get it apart. Take a hammer to it. Then go at the screw with a pair of vice grips to get it out.
Don't forget to check washers and dryers. I found a 14K gold bracelet in the dryer duct a few months back, and of course some change. The pawn shop offered me $45....I kept the bracelet.
I asked a produce guy at Wal-Mart about a watermelon gaylord, and he said I could have them. There ate the big cardboard ones that fill up a full size pallet.
I say charge $5, $6, maybe even $7 more for every new TV or desktop computer that people buy to go towards government funded recycling centers. Every state dump, landfill, and curbside pick-up could...
3,750....it's starting to feel like The Price is Right.
I can honestly say that I've never been to one outside of my front yard.......I've had 3 of my own. I usually sleep in on Saturday. I love fleamarkets, Craigslist, and Ebay....hmmmm....I think I'm...
He didn't give good specifics. I'm going off what was stated. A board with little or no components will go as shred and not low grade.
Sure. Most will only go as low grade. The most economic thing would be to throw them in with your shred (steel). It's not cost effective to mail these off to an ewaste buyer. Now, if the boards have...
Silver is silver. As long as you know the percentage of silver, it doesn't really matter if it's 5% silver; someone wants it and will pay you for the value of the silver.
Thankfully, here in NC, the county dump sites still take them free of charge. They have an electronics recycling area where people pile up TVs, computers, microwaves, and other e-waste. I went the...
You guys have it all in Florida....pythons, giant lizards, wild monkeys. It's like the rain forest down there....wild, exotic pets on the loose!!
We need more hunters in the U.S. More deer are killed by cars and trucks than hunters could ever think about killing. Thete's an overpopulation of deer. Studies have shown that there are more deer in...
Definitely advertise it and sell it for what it is and not scrap. Any long pieces of angle, tubing, sheet, channel, or any other stock metal can be sold for much more than scrap. The economy isn't...
Hey Connie, I live near Boone and work just about everywhere between there and Asheville: Banner Elk, Linville, Newland, Marion, Spruce Pine, Lenoir, and Burnsville. I've been scrapping for quite a...
Sledge hammer. Break the cast brass. Possibly heat up the brass with a torch without melting the plastic.
My scrapping vehicle....probably a few thousand. My company vehicle....over 70,000 miles. I hardly had and time to sort. I just hordes it. On the flip side, I guess it wasn't a bad year for holding...
You can drill those locks out pretty easy. I was in the vending business for a long time. Just take a 3/8" drill bit and put it dead center on the face of the lock. Slow and steady is the key so you...
Make sure you put your ear plugs in....I can't imagine shooting a 12 gauge inside an empty warehouse. Watch out for ricochets!!!
Stephen...34. Married, 3 year old little girl and another on the way...due date January 12th.
A lot of electronics have coated brass. Most of the connector screws that I have run across are coated. If you're curious, just hit it with a file or your grinding wheel.
