short day, spent the rest doing coin roll hunting.

I noticed that "hobo finds" and "cwgii" are both from Tucson and both have posted items taken to the scrap yard within a day of each other twice. Do you guys know each other or is this just a big coincidence?

Never met yet...

or mayhaps in passing.

Made two trips last week. Haven't gone to the scrap yard in 3+ years, just been stacking everything up in a leaky storage container that will eventually become scrap itself. Found a place that is only a 7 minute drive instead of 45. Their steel price is a couple cents lower but well worth the savings in gas, time, and hassle.

373 stainless turnings @ .15 = $55.95
40 tin cans @ .03 = $1.20
597 mixed steel @ .08 = $47.76
2082 aluminum turnings @ .22 = $458.04 (was quoted .10 a couple months ago )
85 aluminum cans @ .55 = $46.75
183 mixed aluminum @ .45 = $82.35
77 extruded aluminum @ .50 = $38.50
Total $730.55

Still have at least a ton of steel turnings and mixed steel to haul.

They pay lower for steel tin cans than mixed? I would mix them in if I could!

They won't take them mixed in. This is just a little place, but the last time I went to the big place further away they also had a separate pile and they were on the "things we take for free" list along with plastic, cardboard, etc.

Nate: You ought to take some copper bars to them and ask what they'd pay just for grins. I'd be curious if they'd give you a funny look or ask why you are even bringing something like that to them.
