half of that was sheet iron. I had over 200lbs in alum gutters. alot of hot water heaters. I basically stop and ask every roofer, electrician, heating and cooling guy i see what there doin wit there scrap. lot of them have a guy and even tho they have a guy they useally will let me take what they just did so they dont have to load it and haul it back to shop. I give everyone of them my card in case they change there mind. found a few guys that call me now and have me come pick up. also i cleaned out a hoarders house and he had many goodies. he was a small appliance repair guy from like the 60's and 70's. had bout 10 electric motors, 20 lbs of good clean #1 copper, 4 fridges, 2 cast iron sinks, 1 cast iron bath tub. i cant even count how many alum pots and pans, slow cookers, kettles and stainless steal pans. and i find a lot just driving and doing errands and such only takes a few mins to pull over load something and go bout ur way..
ya i was very happy with how i did. kinda worried that i just got lucky. all tho this last week i made $140. So we will see. I know there will be slow days but its not as much for the money as it is for the fun sometimes. kinda nice just hopping in the truck with my daughters and go look for hour or 2. they enjoy the ride
