2 years ago now my partner and I took a pickup load of totes full of escrap to Ohio and came back with $2200.
Took a while to accumulate that many boards.

Every Tuesday & Friday I drive right by the yard anyway on my regular route at my 'real' job, so I take loads in a couple times a week, so I don't let the stuff build up into what you could call a "big" run... my main limit is storage, plus I don't want to overload the truck, plus I kinda like keeping the cash a-flowin'.
Biggest weight: 807#
Biggest payday: $530.55
The payday I'm going to get on my next ewaste run to HLH&R will be a new record, though. How much will depend on the results of a couple of auctions that end this week. If they go well I'll top a grand. I'm close already.

New biggest weight: 1118 this morning. Sixty-something computer cases, a trampoline frame, and a heavy steel table added up this week!
Took the power supplies from those cases, too... only 15cents a pound but 114 pounds of them!
Only 131 bucks, though.

up date: $5139.99 to ewasted.
there were also times when I took in 5 lbs of copper for food too.
I am very thankful for what this forum has taught me, thank you all sincerely, mcw

Couple of years ago I took some ewaste in and got $695.00. Been close to that a couple times. I have the same issue as a lot of people, which is space

I've had a few but these next 2 hauls I have pictures of.
First is the 3 roof top A/C units. Striped to the bone.

HVAC buddy we know.
Cost us a case of beer and pack of smokes.
I love my HVAC and gas fitting buddies.
Not me in picture, my high paid worker wondering where do I start?

Well, kinda cheating here, but this was all in one day, and was from the same place. The only thing that kept it from being one load was the fact that I have nothing that would hold 20 server racks for transport!
Load 1: 1100#
Load 2: 1100#
Load 3" 780#
Load 4: 1040#
Total: 4020#
Never even had a one-ton day, and I go & bust off a two-ton day!
Best part is, Load 5 was all the cherries: A mostly aluminum server rack, a couple with some UPS's and one with 11 Dell Poweredge 1950s. They're in my garage awaiting breakdown.
Awesome part is, the bid I submitted was for 11 empty racks & one with 4 server UPS's. Love it when the ask, "Hey, do you want this, too?"
