    A day to remember

    For 2 months I passed 2 side loader washing machines at the curb filled with scraps of metal no less
    each one was heavy as **** . there was other scrap there also I took the lite stuff first
    and finally I summand up the will loaded them on yesterday.
    I supplemented some additional from my stock also.
    So this morn I'm on my way to the yard and see more curb items so I pick
    then I see the mother load 5 AL wheels with tires . I go to a station and pay $4 per wheel
    to remove tires and netted 105 pounds @ .54 a # after expenses $35 plus $40 for mix
    I needed the money so it really gave me a lift .




    The end of today I found a freezer , water heater , 3 buckets of steel shavings (heavy)
    A busted but heavy printer so hope for a decent day tomorrow

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less

    Can't tell if you're paying $4 to have the tires dismounted, or if that includes disposal fee. If it's just dismount, go drop $40 or so on a Harbor Freight tire changer. Mine has paid for itself many times over.

    Congrats. Any chance that there were sellable parts on those washers? 73, Mike
