Scrap metal

[rondog]

I'm just thinking about the value of the scrap vs. his labor value lost in time away from the shop/business to go to the scrapyard. IIRC, his shop is in Centennial, yes? I don't know of any scrapyards nearby, and a trip to a scrapyard has never been a quick thing for me, always friggin' lines and waiting. Time away from the shop and the phone could cost more than the junk is worth.

But there I go, tryin' to think again.....

I have guys drive by my rolloffs every day and take whatever scraps of metal they can find. Makes more room for me. ++

Its definitely worth it. I take bags of cans in to recycle and put the money in my sons college fund.

So that half full 5gal bucket I have of steel casings is worth how much? Didn't seem right to toss them, so I just started filling a bucket up when I'm sorting through range brass pickups. Can I afford a lunch at taco bell yet?

I have a couple hundred pounds you can add to your haul if you want it. It's the front clip of a bread truck frame.

even out here in the stix they're giving $170/Ton for scrap steel... If you've got the room to let it pile up to that much, it's worth it...
Last time I brought a load, it was around $200 in my pocket

i had a washing machine I needed to get rid of, so I hauled it down to the scrap yard in Pueblo and got $14.00. I thought that was pretty good price for an old washing machine.

Damn, I was gonna tell tmleadr03, that if he still had his scrap pile when we do the annual family dump/recycle run this fall, we would take it to recycle and split proceeds.

Then more scrap starts to pop up. Looks like need to start scrap wanted/haul away your scrap iron thread.
