    A typical week for me

    Just wanted to submit a few pics of what I do in a week.

    These pictures are just what I picked up Monday and today.

    The sign I just threw in for fun but there are a few folks around that have signs similar to this and they aren't kidding!

    I usually fill one of these roll off bins a week sometimes 2.

    Hello Mr. Pot, it's Mr. Kettle. Looks like you're getting it done, but as you pointed out in my thread.

    Careful you don't RUIN your truck. Let's just keep doing what we do - finding scrap and getting paid.

    #1 copper was $2.83/pound last time I sold some in January.

    Shred is going for $150/mt right now
