quite a bit of pounds you had...

[hobo finds]

2 more steel loads, one sheet iron one torch and then I can get the + $.10 bonus! I am going to have like 20 different categories of metal... should be fun!

[cwgii]

thought you had given up on them/ not worth going to can it for the one faucet . but at .45 vs 1.00 . if I had more I would have gone there.

too bad about your plastic at .15 when I am still getting .40 at normas. of course that is for 100 lb . or close to it.

25 used ink printer cartages. Only got $4.40 total. Do not use Green Hippo Ink Recycling! Big rip off. They said that some were damaged then charges a $5.00 freight reduction as not enough were good... Most of there were from my home printer! I could see the ones that I removed from scrap printers could get damaged...

a computer messup at the cfs scrap yard left me with getting 27.00+ for 2.70 worth of refridgerator.

being too honest, I called the owner over and told him. there were 5-6 people in line . so he said, ''take the gift and shut up :: well sort of.
to which I replied, MERRY XMAS TO YOU TOO.

[hobo finds]

Yep that's cool of him. 1636 lbs. is one big fridge! Several years ago I had the same thing at a different yard they gave me #1 ins wire price for my #2 I told the guy he thanked me for the info and said keep the money.

Had to empty out truck full of fake Christmas trees in order to get our tree... 140 lbs sheet iron @ $.0165

I love scrapping, went to my favorite place, some of the stuff I bring in they don't know what to do with, have to take it home and figure it out.. anyways. No more circuit boards, what a waste of time those were, should of kept them because I think my other recycler pays more. The batteries were the easiest thing, I'll definitely keep my eye out for those. Actually, I think I'm done for the winter, but I always say I'm done. 49.93 for a whole lot of dumpster driving.

fridge... freezer was 12 inches of solid ice. took the door off and faced it south. came back an hour later and it was loose enough that when I tipped it over most of the ice broke free.

folks had already taken the power cord and most of the copper. then I tipped it, all the oil in the sealed unit came spewing out. ..

100 lb. at 33 /t a whopping 1.65 ,. if I was not going next door anyway, it would not be worth it.

here in Tucson the prices range from .15-24 /lb so a 60 lb battery nets up 9-14$
