I'm in the suburbs of Chicago. Specifically the downers grove area. My wife and I have made the decision to move out of state to North Carolina. I have a regular pickup spot at a body shop nearby...
Oh, and I should add, these are not refurbish prices. They strictly grind them into cullet to be recycled into new bumpers. So for scrap pricing, it's not too bad.
Actually, bumpers off cars pay pretty good around me (Illinois). I currently get 10 cents per lb for pickup truck sized loads. Last year I was getting 15. That's better than steel has been. And they...
"How do you deal with the negative stigma of looking through other people's recycles?"
Easy, I don't. Who are they to judge? If you're not breaking any laws, enjoy what you're doing, and bring in...
I had to turn down a pickup request the other day for the first time in a long time. I advertise my service as free pickup with the exception of fees for tv's. And since this is currently a side...
We don't have a fee. But we shop at Marianos a lot and bring out own reusable cloth bags. They give you a 5 cent discount per bag up to 25 cents. Sure it's only gonna save you a max of 12.50 a year...
I used your ratchet strap method once to get an upright piano into the back of my truck solo. First and only one I've done. Lol. I used a 50 gallon drum as a "ramp" to get a 300-400 lb hunk of steel...
For fridges and other bulky items I can't hold while tipping the dolly, I find a ratchet strap around the two together works well. Or even in a pinch, grab the fridge from the front with the dolly...
Never got the magnet, but I've got the claw 3 times. Once for a truck bed, once for the back right quarter or so of a car, and once for this piece of pig iron.

When I was younger I had garbage picked a microwave and had some fun with it. Basically I put everything in it that you're not supposed to. Lol. Aluminum foil, cds, light bulbs, etc. I tried an egg...
I had the pleasure of meeting TJ and his crew today and wanted to be sure to leave feedback on my experience.
I've been dealing with ewaste for about a year and a half now. And in that time I've...
I did an old upright once as well. What worked well at the time of snipping the strings so they wouldn't go flying across the driveway was to lay down a heavy rug over them. I have one of those...
I've held a couple smaller events. All great advice you have gotten so far. One thing I would suggest if you don't already have it in place is the ability to accept credit cards for the tv payments....
Wow. Freonjoe for the win so far. Thats a lot of weight. Do you take all that in yourself? Or do you have roll offs and/or semi trailers?
And greytruck, seeing as we're both illinoisans with...
I'm just a part timer so I know my total weight is small potatoes to some of you. While to others it may be a lot. But I thought I'd share my year end total weight brought to my main yard I deal with...
Direct translations like that are always funny. Years ago I worked on a mitsubishi printing press and one of the warning panels said "failure to lubricate can be made broke"
I'll bet that branch to the head in the 2nd video felt good. 10 feet further away and you'd have been good. Lol.
That's only 7 beers a day. Totally doable. Just remember, an alcohol problem is running out. And no drinking and driving, you might spill it!
I searched the forum for a while looking for the best tool to cut power supply wires and didn't find much. So I went to home Depot to see what they had that might work and came across these guys....
Business was pretty crazy for me for a while and I was forced to move shop from my parents garage to a storage unit. I've caught up/slowed down lately so I'm working on moving back to my ps with...

They're just one-upping this guy. Lol.
I'll throw my empties in my shred pile. However, I make sure to give them a good rinse before I throw them in the bin under the kitchen sink since we don't go through that many canned goods. They'd...
My scrap business is a side gig to a full time (and then some) job. I'm a cnc machinist at a production shop running cnc lathes. Odds are some of you guys have held parts I've personally made as one...

It may not be sirscrap's travelling cooler, but it's still a cooler.
