Trip to the Scrap Yard

by Bradley Voight on 07/16/12

Tomorrow I will post a video of my trip to Omnisource. Metals prices have slipped by about 8% since my last trip but all my bins are full and it is time to go. I have been collecting my current lot of metals for just over two months and I have not gone out of my way to pick any of it up, so I have exerted little effort and I hope to get at least $200 for it, even with the recent metals price drop. I'm not getting rich, but I am making some much needed extra cash. I also pick up pallets but I try to stick to the most popular size. I just took in 12 grade A pallets and got $42 for them.
