Tin steel has got to be better than cardboard right?!?

That is pretty good for cardboard. I just sold 22 tons of it for $135, but that was baled and picked up.

That seems to be quite low. The place I do business with takes bailed and loose cardboard at the same rate. They only charge $85 for freight, which is for one big roll off container. I do know most places out there buy cardboard for pretty cheap, you just got to find the right one. Or you could pay the freight to ship it directly to a cardboard manufacturer. I feel you should of gotten at least $1000 for that transaction (22 tons) and that is after freight. Like I said earlier the cool thing about cardboard is that there is a lot of it out there and businesses go through it on a regular basis. So, you can get repeat business for a long time.

I was going to post a thread talking about how I think tin metal is over rated. It is something that I deal with and recycle but, when I get paid for it, its usually not a whole lot. One load of tin I sometime get $80 for storing it, picking it up, loading it up, and handling it. For just one working fridge that I sell I get $150, thats a lot less work. Tin is over rated especially now that prices are so low.
