Crome rims different than aluminum?

[Dr. Cadmium]

Crome rims different than aluminum?

Yes this is a new one to me, I have never had them distinguish before. I have seen and heard reports of this in other places lately as well, apparently wholesale buyers of scrap rims want them separated.

[TXSTARFIRE]

These were chrome plated aluminum then, not chrome plated steel?

[Dr. Cadmium]

These were chrome plated aluminum then, not chrome plated steel?

Yes, chrome plated aluminum. Apparently it's been standard practice for a few years now at the bigger yards.

What’s up with the cement and tires? Do they recycle those for a charge and you were getting rid of them?

[Silver4face]

I'm guessing the tires were attached to rims and the cement was attached to heavy steel

[bankmining]

Ah. Got ya. Places around me won’t take any steel with cement remnants.

[Dr. Cadmium]

I'm guessing the tires were attached to rims and the cement was attached to heavy steel

Correct. The tires were attached to a trailer frame and the cement was actually inside a lally column.

[Dr. Cadmium]

Local run down to the yard down the road.
