Awesome load there Mvpvlad! Those electronics are awesome! Be careful though.. my yard is real pi**y when it comes to leaving the speakers intact and not taking them off the plastic. Also watch out on those pc parts, some can go for some good bucks on CL and Ebay. Hopefully this is not your last trip! Thanks for uploading photos as well

Want to know something crazy? I just sold a bunch of hangers along w/the holder like that for 50.00 on CL. It always amazes me what will sell. I was going to take them in for scrap and thought I would give it a shot. The person that bought them had a consignment shop.

haha the holder is my dads and his work washes and dries his work uniform for free he also gets the hangers for free when he gets them back so h made me keep the holder to refill next time i will try that thanks for the tips guys

The hangers will sell also. Just check ebay normally they sell in packs of 50 or 100.

What was up with the high pressure sodium light/or grow light. they run $300-$400 new for 1000w setups. It's just an overgrown shop light and pretty easy to get working using a voltmeter or current detector. chances are they let it run too long and blew the cap or a fuse

And no I grow annuals, shrubs, and perennials

How much shred did you stuff in there? I used to scrap in a CR-V and i was amazed at how much I could fit in it. My record was 650 lbs. Nice load!

**Mvpvlad** · 05-04-2014, 08:50 PM

Gravitar i fit 380 i can easily see some body getting 450 or so but 650 is a lot props to you

My first trip I had been hoarding at the side of the house for 4 months and crammed 550 lbs in my 98 Lumina. I was so proud when I got my receipt.

First time to the scrapyard!!
