I saw a comment on Facebook that a local gal had a 2005 Kia Sedona van for sale/asking $150. I happened to know her in this small community. She said it overheated and suspected the water pump was...

I confess that I have not been frequenting this site as much as I should/could. But............I don't see Patriot 76 on here recently. Anyone know his whereabouts? Thanks

Oh, you must be my age too huh? :) :-/

I used a forum member here and ended up donating it all (I think the right term is "got robbed". That past member was in the process of going out of business and I happened to get caught up in the...

Carquest here pays a flat $10 for a car/truck battery and $5 for a lawnmower battery. (The larger ones).

Rog,

I've been taking printers and any unwanted E-scrap to Goodwill. They have a contract with Dell and will take anything except TVs. I think it's a universal undertaking for them.

Hi Patriot and Rog,

All of a sudden, I'm back to cleaning up farmyards and the E-scrap is on hold. I did find a vehicle to dump some of my unwanted electronics into. Looks like you have room in...

Traded my son for his 2005 Ram 1500 automatic but liked the 2500 diesel I had except for the 6 spd. manual tranny.

It handled this 2.58 ton load today reasonably well. I thought I was maybe done...

Very active in music here. Have been the keyboardist in a 6 piece Variety Band for the last 20 years. We play 45 weekends out of a year and practice once a week. My wife plays bass with the band...

Anyone know if he's still in business in Sioux Falls, SD ?

Whatever the sister in law makes is what I'm having, but I know my wife made 14 pies of which 5 are buttermilk. Yes, I said buttermilk and WOW is it delicious. I know I'm saving room for that. ...

Same here, I got hammered by a resident member/ buyer of computer scrap.

Please continue with your project including pictures. I did a similar operation recently but nothing to that extent. The X-ray room had lead-lined walls but the building was sold before we were...

Pulling with a Dodge Ram...

Sometimes the occasion yields rewards far and beyond the initial purpose. For instance, I drove 50 miles pulling an empty 20 ft. trailer yesterday to take a load of bicycles across town to a...

..........and they're messy and they stink when the oil comes out. :)

If you're able to get these two items from your scrapyard as I do, you can turn them into profit. Air compressors and kerosene space heaters seem to be thrown away while yet repairable. I learned...

One of my best finds at the scrapyard was an air compressor that had been unloaded with the claw and ended up high in the pile.
The attendant said "When they brought it in, they said it worked but...

Prepared iron $30/ ton
Unprepared is $15/ ton includes Vehicles
Shred......no value; you can drop it off but won't get paid.

I bought a running Mazda with a battery today for $30. The tires go...

I've always given half to the owners, then recently I went to a third and nowadays I'm offended if someone asks me to take their iron. Well not quite that bad but I'm also not pursuing jobs like I...

Hi Chris, It's good to know one of our youth is taking the initiative to appreciate the wide world of scrapping. That's conservatism at its best. I hate waste, myself, and although all of my...

Hi Rog, to my knowledge Nucor doesn't buy from individuals. It's a terminal for the big yards and then they're quite fussy about what they get. (Scanning for radiation etc.) There were two yards...

I follow you there. I do that and just hope I can get some stuff out of the house before it goes in the pit. Thanks for the good advice. My wife is beginning to frown on the word ''stockpile''. ...

Hi, if you're pertaining to trailer houses, I'd be interested in knowing how you go about it. I've turned down a few as they leave such a mess and the frames are light.....lots of work.

It would work here in rural Nebraska on my farm.........depends on where you live.
