    Aluminum Pick up

    Picked up 400 + pounds of screen doors, window frames, and other assorted aluminum pieces today for a whopping $50. All glass was removed prior to pick. Screen doors and window frames will bring in .60/lb without tearing apart.

    I am able to get anything that is donated and either doesn't work or they dont want. Its all donated and delivered to them. So it's easy money for them as well.
