Going to the yard - Greytruck

I go to the scrapyard at least once a week. I take pics of every load before i leave to go to the yard. I figure i might as well share them
Todays load of shred. 820 lbs

The rims on those top bike look aluminum, are you pulling aluminum off of the bikes or just taking in whole as shred?

Depends on the bikes, Sometimes i do and sometimes i dont. I dont have to remove the tires from bike wheels so its easier some times.

2nd trip for the week. Got rid of all the shred. Would have gone twice yesterday, but it kept raining. Now to work on breaking down the non-ferrous.
680 lbs. They are paying 220/Ton for sheet iron

Nice load! You should look into a heavy duty net tarp it's like really thick netting as big as a tarp, strap it in tight with 2 straps and you don't need to worry/ spend time making sure your straps are in good spots and will hold it all down, also allows you to put lighter objects onto

See now thats a load I would like to have on a weekly basis, curb hunting here is slim pickings.
On a bit of a side note, you did get the copper out of that microwave... right?

Yeah i stripped out the microwave. I only open the side with the transformer, fan motor, wires, ect. and the tray motor on the bottom. Then I reseal it. I dont want to break that beryllium thing in the magnetron when I unload the truck. I leave the door on and fill it with empty soup cans and such.

Shed Trip
Not much to look at, but got to get rid of it. That stormdoor is stainless steel and there is a alum car hood on the bottom of the truck bed.
