What did you scrap?

[Recyclersteve]

29 units of small defective compressors w/ coils and housing attached. Went to shop prices- one place paid 6 cents a lb.; another paid 10 cents; a third paid 15 cents. Naturally I chose the 15 cent offer.

15 cents a pound x 519 # = $77.85 (so he gave me $78.00).

299 lbs of crushed al cans at .95/lb

Just curious, how do you crush the cans? Also, do they give a better price for crushed cans than they pay for uncrushed in your area?

[cwgii]

the 16 oz , i use a crusher from harbor freight. others, just by hand.

not worth the bonus she gives me. but... both trucks , full was 300. uncrushed would be less than100

I thought he would use this

I use this as 16 oz and smaller fall into the trashcan under it, all other cans crush with a tamping tool on a handle

and a grabber to pick them up!

Lady died and family would not deal with 40 ft container of garbage. Filled big dumpster (our cost) and a pickup of misc metal $35, 5 appliances $45 plus two pickup trips to the electronics recycling (they take free). Reminds me not to to store junk.

Glad you got over a $ for those clean copper / alum raids price going up some! With as many as you turn in at a time I am sure you get a little better pricing on them.

Price was $.95 and he gave me $1.10 for bulk
I'm pretty loyal to them and that also helps
