Not a bad last couple weekends for me

[crazyman16]

I have been extremely busy hauling in scrap metal the last couple weekends. I hauled in 30,000 pound of farm machinary from one farm. He retired from 30 years of farming and had a bunch of old farm equipment and i still aint done hauling scrap out of there yet. And the sweet part is that he gave it to me for free. Also i got 1 car and 25 semi batteries and a ton of scrap metal from a truck repair shop for free which i got 750 bucks out of. then I just got a call that a guy that does clean outs of foreclosed houses has 10 refigerators and he will be getting 250 or more in the next couple months and is giving me all of them for free and i will strip them and get 150 a ton for them. Thanks for giving me ideas on how to find scrap it was helped alot!!!!

Congratulations!! Next tip is not to take those batteries to the scrap yard. Go on Craig's List and find someone like me who sells direct to the manufacturer and will beat the scrap yard's price. I generally meet the scrap yard price, but the great part is having the flexibility to bargain - and, believe me, there's room to bargain.

Ya i know but the recycling center that i bring my stuff to gave me 20 cents a pound so that isnt to bad since i got em for free. hopefully soon i can start selling them to exide. I think i seen an exide truck in my town the other day.
