    580 lbs of Light Iron @ $2.31lb: $59.81
    16lbs of #2 ins copper wire @ 1.05lb: $16.80

    didn't have enough aluminum for the scale to even register :/

    Total: $76.61

    So what do you guys think?
    I think you got paid about 11 cent a lb for the shred, which isn't bad, not 2.31 a lb. Save the alum. till you have a decent amount for the scale to weigh. On the low end the scale may not be close to accurate.
