I agree with the free weights and whey protein. I spent about 6 months lifting 25lb dumbbells for about 15-20 mins a day only 3 days a week, taking a day off between or sometimes running 4 days a...

It certainly works well for me :)
Haven't had any issues with barbed wire for several years now. I remember at one time it was a problem for the shredders, but haven't heard that in a long time.
Oh man. Doughnuts. Respect in a box lol. Taking doughnuts to the yardhands is the best strategy ever IMHO lol.
If it's being properly filtered and contained I don't see why it would be illegal. I just had a mental image of some guys pouring all the tanks into a large container and giving it away.
It's...
Not sure about the loophole. It wouldn't seem to be illegal if they're keeping 100% of it contained and not charging a fee for it, but the EPA has a plethora of guidelines on the matter, and if I'm...
Yeah there's no way I would use that gas. It's a mixture of good, bad, and probably diesel and who knows what else.
Plus like someone else said it's illegal disposal of hazardous waste and could...
That occasional gold mine.
We let people shop around the shred pile. It can be quite a hassle at times, since some people like to climb the pile, or stick small items in their pocket.
Overall it's not too bad though. I...
Happy Fathers day everyone!
I'm currently paying .10/lb. for unopened ballasts. I'd say your right about the yard paying. 03. They likely don't have a buyer for them and are slipping small amounts into shred (some contain...
A $5 Bill is always someone's language lol ;)
Same here. It's amazing how a $5 bill can skyrocket you into a higher tier!
Springing for the $10 makes you family, lol.
When I was a green-hand, I had a one-time customer tip me $20. I...
Sorry for the inconvenience. Here's a link for you to the MS SOS website. Scroll down to the registered list. B & G Recycling, LLC. I believe we are about 4 down from the top.
My name is...
Exactly. My greatest pet peeve is someone who makes an false assumption of a deal that travels through the scrap community, whether it be local or online. In my case I've had customers who try and...
Ok so I wanted to post this as a yard owner and manager to give some insight on how to maintain maximum profits from most yards.
Separating and cleaning your metal is always a must for max...
Clean brass. Check with magnet. I agree with the poster about eBay. There are people who collect keys - always more money with collectors.
My thoughts exactly. The guy did a great job of convincing me it could be safely done, but you know how people are lol. Im not up to date on tracked equipment as this is our first excavator. We...
Ok so I have a blown seal on one of my track adjusters. I'm in need of a temp fix to keep the track on until I can break it down. And replace the seal. I had a guy tell me I can force the Idler out...
Exactly. Lots of dealers throw out big prices then chop you with grading, almost always based on total BS. Problem is most people aren't aware and fall for it.
It really gives the scrap...
My buyer wouldn't accept ends for dirty brass since the plastic weight is most likely over 50% of the total. Every buyer is different though. If they have a low percentage dirty price they may...
This is how we do it as well. Anything labor intensive must produce more than it consumes in profits. Allows for larger volumes. We do take a large hammer and remove brass valves on HWH. Ten...
I would have them show me the machine and the test results. They should be talking about a test gun, they can do it right in front of you instantly. If they neglect to do so, I would do business...
Painted is clean aluminum sheets with paint. Old sheet Will have screws, glue, other minor "dirt". Price difference in my area is around .20/lb.
Your extrusion needs to be 100% clean. No...
Was there anything on the copper such as paint or solder? I've bought and sold tons of copper for years, never heard of machine copper grading.
If it's clean it doesn't matter the usage, at...
