Calling all scrap metal junkies!

Who out there likes to scrap ? I just picked up a load in my tacoma today! will be filling up the chevy 1 ton dump when I can save up some more.

 

I used to scrap a ton when I worked as a tech for a shop..I was pulling an extra 5-700 a month in, for free stuff.

Now, not so much. I wish I had access to some big stuff. Now its all junk metal

 

I scrap. They just passed a new law here Oct. 1st Anything over $100 they HAVE to pay by check, ANY copper paid by check, go there twice in one day they pay by check. TGhey have to take my picture and a picture of my load!! Total bullshit, how does this fight thieves? All they have to do is cut up the metal beyond recognition, and what happens when they try to blame me for stealing? I don't even have a bank account either man, I'm just aggravated as hell by this, all the scrap yards are pissed off too.

 

I live in Maine and the scrapyard I go to only makes me show and ID last I remember, they pay me by check no matter how much, that does sound like a pain though

 

You guys can keep that..they pay cash here, just got to show them id once, then your on file.

I need to get back in the game.

 

definitely a great way to make extra cash to put into the yota!

 

I dont even know what prices are anymore..i took a bed full of old alloy wheels to scrap one time, i got $300.. How i miss those days.

 

I have my waterjet drops and mill/lathe chips picked up every two or three weeks. Lots of stainless and aluminum. Typically 2-3k each load

 

damn thats a lot of shavings^

prices must have been way up in 2012 lol

 

What you need is a forge! Melt all that down and pour it right into a mold, $.10 in scrap metal just became a $10 genuine Pelfreybilt forge crafted bottle opener.

I’d buy two of em

Edit: Holy thread resurrection!
