    So not to tread on your thread but your data on the wire really opened my eyes. Taking your time does allow you to process more and if your waste isnt killing you wow you really can make more. I was ready to go this route and downsize my shop or lose it following some of your posts but I remembered shoot the waste in the case of any of your numbers If buying it, traditionally Im a buyer leaves a big issue for me and many. How does the waste number get figured in if you buy scrap.

    Any waste that is not being sold now we would apply the purchase price per pound right. The wire for example because I have a nice amount of wire at my shop it was pound and 4 oz of waste so that like percent of my purchase price per pound Im throwing out so am I really making more by cleaning up stuff Im paying for.. I dont think so many be case by case. Devin you gave me a great idea. Im going to follow your lead and just open up on this forum too. Why not share the secretes we learned. You can teach a old dog new tricks. Evidence is I guess me getting saved. Teach me scrap forums Ill apply it and im sure all of us will. I just want to make more recycle and go home to my kids.



    Good job devin you are earning you place here.. Hey can I keep my place here guys....please...
