Do was wondering what you alls opinion is on holding scrap.. I do HVAC work on the side and have been stacking my units, was wondering if thats the smart thing or should i be scrapping them as i go, I figure i got nothing in them, but at the same time it begins to take up room

4337 pounds of scrap metal at .07 per pound = $303.59


Guys I have the double axle dump trailer about 80% full of copper aluminum radiators I'm gonna have to start filling a second car trailer as I have a bunch more to go. My point is im gonna run a contest and give away free silver I'd say within the next week. I will post pics and you guys guess the weight.
