    I took in two loads today, totaling around $200. The first load was:
    380 LBS of shred (lots of lawmower stuff)
    8 Lbs of clean brass
    5 lbs of wire
    38 lbs of motors
    38 lbs of batteries

    We've gotten over 4 inches of rain in the last few days, so the yard was a complete mud pit. I almost got stuck at the shred pile twice, very scary.



    The second load was taken later that day. It contained a fridge full of stuff, a BBQ and lots of aluminum. They almost shorted me $50 on my clean aluminum. Instead of the ticket saying I had 140 LBS of clean aluminum, it said I had 14 LBS of clean aluminum copper radiators which I had none of. I'm glad I checked my receipt before I left their driveway. Anyway, everything got sorted out and I got my additional $50.
