Scrap Yard Results
by Bradley Voight on 07/17/12I was shooting for $200 and I got $146.88. I had two aluminum rims that I left the valve stems and lead wheel weights on which took $20 away but now I know to remove them next time. Prices were down more like 12% from my last trip. I was hoping to post an itemized list to show on the video, but Omnisource's computers were down which made for a 2 1/2 hour stay at the yard and a handwritten check. I had approximately 70# aluminum cans, 6# No. 1 copper, 6# No.2 copper, 25# cast aluminum, 155# sheet iron and 2 aluminum rims. Time to start mini treasure hunting again! Our next trip to the yard will be fully documented on video.
Year to date I have made $485 from pallets, cans, and scrap metal. Remember, I have NOT gone out of my way to find any of this stuff.
