33LB torch at 65/t
12 lb prepared at 85/t
and the 'cone' from a tv. 2 lb copper content at .07 which was stupid as those are very easy to break for the wire, vs fan motors with the steel housing.

40 lb for a file cabinet case. hated to go across the scale. but too bulky. paid at 65/t clean sheet

the rollers from the drawers. ... this time they erred in my favor. calling it prepared 80/t for 64 lb.

too boot, he included junk from a tv... when you break the glass out. there is a light steel ring around it. and in it too.

this time I broke up the cone and took it home

So I go on tax day instead with the swamp cooler. I may take down some aluminum on Earth Day, even though I was saving it for the bonus trip. I need a few more trips to have the bonus + $.10 day land on Earth Day!!

ummm, I actually fill up a bonus card with piddly stuff. then hold it in reserve. so, I have one to use next week.

OK going down on Earth Day, still recovering from 4/20 Mostly aluminum this trip. And punch card is full

sheet iron... 360 lb at 85.... again with the punk kid fing up. it was at least half 'torch prepared' of long rod, bars etc. and one piece that was supped to go to the small scale... stainless doors to the salad bar. so the cashier 'took care of me.''

then she gives me a ticket for a free hot dog. and my receipt. as I wait for the dog. I look at the receipt and find that I did not receive my .10 bonus on stuff.

This was with the punch card $+.10 So I cant figure out if I got the bump in price or not for Earth Day Looks like I did not as I was too early... $,02 more on some items before they dropped prices to do the Earth Day Special so I lost $.08 a pound I am taking my small electric motors to another yard I it pisses me off to get "copper content" price for them. Even with the $.10 bonus Desert Metals is a few cents more on them

In march I only got $.08 for the compressors + the $.10 bonus.
