I started out by swinging up by my old high school because I knew that the small engines class sometimes threw away a lot of good metal. When I got there 6 mower decks and an aluminum ladder were...

when you are out picking for scrap look for wood so you can build one yourself. Doesnt have to be pretty just has to work!

Take a magnet to the metal parts, if it sticks its steel, if not its most likely aluminum. if you cant tell by looking at it then tap it with an angle grinder, if it doesn't throw any sparks its...

I would say average is at least 82" between the fenders if you want to be able to haul a wide variety of cars.

Definitely take the nickel, also take the time to introduce yourself http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/forumdisplay.php/346-Introduce-yourself

So I just wanted to bring up to everybody that when picking up lawn mowers and such things with an engine, take the couple minutes to pop the carb off and put it up on eBay. I sold one earlier today...

Thanks guys, didn't even think to check it with a magnet. Guess I gotta go dig it out :/ lol

Died Easter eggs today and the dipper for the eggs was copper! Went straight into my copper bin as soon as the eggs were done haha Don't forget to check yours!:D

I'm not sure about that, but if not just put the case back on

It seems like at least once a week somebody asks where they can get rid of CRT's and every time somebody answers with a solution but I don't think people read down the page to look for stuff. So here...

I think it would be more for someone who is thinking about picking something up that they have never dealt with before, not something they have already

Car rims- 15-35 lbs
Brake rotors- 15-25 lbs

hard to do a thread like this but I like the idea!

That sounds about right! Couldn't find an exact picture but I think that's probably what it was.

Nothing on that list fits the bill..I wish I had taken a picture, didn't think it would be so uncommon...

No it was nothing like that, it was a big plastic/rubber loop with a free spinning spool of wire on each side and I just pulled the copper right off. the spools were about 1 1/2" by 3"

Then explain to me what it is

Make sure to check the rims to see if they are aluminum! my yard pays .67# for aluminum rims :)

Hey guys, I picked up a small TV w/VCR the other day and when I took the back cover off there was a heavy object connected to it with 2 wires coming out. I put it off to the side to check out after I...

haha I find wire outside then bring it to my room to be stripped, although my roommates extension cords next to my desk tease me every time I sit down. I also check the dumpsters outside everyday and...

I haven't because I don't have a vehicle here or any place to store the scrap I get. Next year I am getting an apartment with a garage and I will have my truck so I will be able to post some fliers.

My name is Scott and I think its about time I introduce myself. I have been reading posts on this forum for about 3 months now and I am constantly learning new things. At first it was overwhelming,...
