thought you had given up on them/ not worth going to can it for the one faucet . but at .45 vs 1.00 . if I had more I would have gone there.

too bad about your plastic at .15 when I am still getting .40 at normas. of course that is for 100 lb . or close to it.

25 used ink printer cartages. Only got $4.40 total. Do not use Green Hippo Ink Recycling! Big rip off. They said that some were damaged then charges a $5.00 freight reduction as not enough were good... Most of there were from my home printer! I could see the ones that I removed from scrap printers could get damaged...

a computer messup at the cfs scrap yard left me with getting 27.00+ for 2.70 worth of refridgerator.

being too honest, I called the owner over and told him. there were 5-6 people in line . so he said, ''take the gift and shut up :: well sort of.
to which I replied, MERRY XMAS TO YOU TOO.

I love scrapping, went to my favorite place, some of the stuff I bring in they don't know what to do with, have to take it home and figure it out.. anyways. No more circuit boards, what a waste of time those were, should of kept them because I think my other recycler pays more. The batteries were the easiest thing, I'll definitely keep my eye out for those. Actually, I think I'm done for the winter, but I always say I'm done. 49.93 for a whole lot of dumpster driving.
Old sheet Aluminum, 26 @.28 = 7.28
Aluminum Breakage 1 @.05 = .05
Yellow Brass Solids 8 @ 1.20 = 9.60

#2 Insulated Copper 15 @ .64 = 9.60
Auto Batteries 101 @.11 = 11.11
Clean Die Cast 1 @ .30 = .60

Miscellaneous + .10 3 @ .08 = .24

fridge... freezer was 12 inches of solid ice. took the door off and faced it south. came back an hour later and it was loose enough that when I tipped it over most of the ice broke free.

folks had already taken the power cord and most of the copper. then I tipped it, all the oil in the sealed unit came spewing out. ..

100 lb. at 33 /t a whopping 1.65 ,. if I was not going next door anyway, it would not be worth it.

here in Tucson the prices range from .15-24 /lb so a 60 lb battery nets up 9-14$
