    Metal Turnings or Shavings

    One machine shop I pick up from several times a week produces metal shavings that are stored in 55 gal drums. I'm amazed at all the different shapes, sizes and density that the shavings come in and how much of a PITA removing some off them from the drum can be. Right now I use a large aluminum ice scoop and put them in smaller containers to take to the yard BUT considering loading the whole drums in the van and leaving a fresh set to be filled. Getting them on the van shouldn't be a problem but unloading, tipping over and emptying could be a wrestling match.

    Curious how others on here would handle Metal Turnings/Shavings.
