    First time trip to yard

    Hey everyone just wanted to share my experience with my first trip to the yard today.
    As a new scrapper looking to make some extra pocket change before I'm off to college it was very nerve racking making a trip to the yard by myself. But after 20 minutes and about 140 bucks later i was pretty happy considering that I didn't pay a single cent for my material. Any ways just wanted to share my experience and for those interested I had roughy...
    420 lbs light iron @ 205/ton
    22 lbs #1 copper piping @ 2.80/lbs
    16lbs #2 insulated wire@ 1.05/lbs
    Various Christmas lights, crutches, al heats sinks from towers,etc
    Anyways if these prices sound like I was ripped off please let me know.
    Thanks-mascraps

    In Massachusetts right outside of Boston there's a street where about 4-6 different yards are literally right next to each other
