1,086 lbs of sealed lead acid batteries (in my daughter's little ranger) for only .175/lb
I remember getting closer to .30/lb last year. Oh well, didn't cost me anything to get them, just from work. Merry Christmas all and keep up the good work. At least for me this money is tax free

I took the drawers from old file cabinets out and filled them with prepared steel, made it easy to load and unload. Had like 10 drawers and one computer case filled and stacked on other metal in the truck. Was surprised that it weighed 480 lbs.

I hear shred is going up. Maybe as high as $90 a ton in Omaha, NE. How's it doing around you?

$33 a ton beginning of Jan up to $48 end of Jan. Why do you think its going up? Low fuel prices, or are yards needing to fill orders so we get a bump in prices?

I think yards are getting pretty empty. I know my main yard is calling around looking for shred.
