    Cool 2 Days, 2 Truckloads!

    unbelievable to think just a few months ago i was collecting scrap on a mini bike and borrowing a vehicle to take it down.. and now i got a truck and making checks bigger than ever before! I love what i do! This post is about the latest 2 days of my scrapping. The first images are from my trip (i discussed this trip on a different thread, this was the trip that was 20min away from me). It ended up being 15 minutes and a full truckload + tons of copper!!



    The copper, some pieces are thick !


    Not bad not bad.. got $90!.. but also noticed something truly unbelievable on the way home... a full AC set!






    Not a bad two days at all! These days are the ones that keep me on cl and curbco!

    Not trying to hijack the thread benny. But you will come to find if its worth it to clean the rads . My scrap yard pays $1.05 a # for dirty and $1.25 a # for clean . I currently turn them in as dirty so i dont have to deal with the oil that always comes out of them all over my driveway. Plus you lose weight from the steel ends by cleaning them
