I scrapped 2 filled server racks the other day, laughing to myself that I wish I knew what the hell to do with them. Well, got .13/lb@687 lbs. Thats about the extent of my E-cycling

Welcom! A good friend of mine and business partner moved to Spartanburg a few months ago. He's from New York, so I'd imagine he'd stick out down there. He does property management down there now. ...

Run a magnet across the silverware at your inlaws house for your nephews birthday...and the family doesn't even ask at this point

Welcome! Here on Long Island I added the overhead of cigars in with gas since both are required for the prowl

I asked my scrapyard if they 1099 me after my first big job. They laughed and said, "you're probably the only guy that knows what a 1099 is around here." This is NY though, and a pretty big metal...

Nobel prize nominee...wow, I'm eager to strip wire tomorrow, thanks!

If the person seems skiddish..that's when I explain, "I'm just tryin' to keep metal out of the land fills." Hah, otherwise, its business as usuall, most people know what's up anyway.

THe plant needed the motors as back-ups for exhaust systems, thanks to all...Have A Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!

Home Depot

Precisely!

what can I do witht he leftover strips that would yield better than seperating the copper loops from them? I thought I did pretty well breaking them down, theres not much left. I'll take some pics...

Hah, sheet is right, just got robbed of half your money. The yard here pays 25/lb for "dirty", but it can be "filthy". Sometimes its not worth breaking stuff down, but with the holidays and all,...

I got a little over a ton of the "clean" stuff. The yard did the right thing by me, I do have one complaint..I'm dissapointed they wouldn't give me anything above light iron for all the "strips" I...

I know it sounds harsh, but you gotta at least understand where I'm coming from...there's plainclothes detectives at the yard at least once a week checking the id's of the people that are there.

I just finished cleaning up today, I sorted all of the ends of the "radiators", I plan to hammer out all of the loops, I have half of a bucket full already from what came off of them while being...

Man, not for nothing but what are we talking about here... Not that it's any excuse but what calibur of people do you expect to run along side of while your scrapping through garbage.

"Pardon me,...

Well the plant that I scrapped last week was pleased with the job, so they decided to let me scrap old refridgeration units that were on the roof. The pictures don't have a scale but these were 5'...

I was under the impression, at least for myself, to buy gold as a security for when the Monetary system collapses and I need to trade something for food/water/ammo. To base a standard, acuall,...

Hah! the unit was the first thing I went to town on this morning, but relinquished my efforts due to the amount of labor involved getting all the steel outside. The container is coming first thing,...

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I'm doing some thinking about only putting ferrous in the container. Most of the stainless is small enough to put in the van, so I could do that for sure. But...

I'm definately goin for that tomorrow, will it work on stainless too? I have some fireproof stainless pipes coming from fire boxes that are laughing at my sawzall and grinder

Thanks man, I'm probably about 75% finished with the steel, I'll have to split the take with the owners, but I still thought it's more than fair. Maybe I'll take out 5% or so for expenses-gas,...

Man I scrapped my A** off today. 8 hours of haulin metal from inside a factory to a pile in the back. Everything is turning out okay except the container didn't show up today, they assured me first...

The sccrap yard rep just sent me an email with the pricelist: I'll get: .09/lb-light iron/mixed steel, .60/lb clean stainless, and .30/lb for mixed stainless. Over the phone he was talking...

Ooh man....As far as I know, my only fee will be the container for $100. I figure I'll put all the non-ferrous stuff on one side and the shred on the other, make it a little faster for the magnet to...
