    The Scrap (GOLD) rush

    I feel a bit sad and somber .The whole scrap scenario , I see I became completely nuts . I collected by far in excess of many . I found some Pics of old one picture shows my first scrapping van wile still nice & i thought I could walk the path of both worlds , Scrapping and normal car Life
    Next picture is the reality what the Scrap (gold) Rush - caused understandably when each 100 pounds equals $10 for mix , wile other metals are superlative
    BTW notice the two microwave magnets on door frame facilitated by broken window Classic
    WELL things just got crazy .
    For me when the chips are down no matter , price Up or Down some how scrap Recycling can
    be-forced to deliver money , yes it has limits but the power is there .
    Still My way of scrapping did not fit into the social norm & to this moment I have a scrap that only human fortitude can finish . I have only one direction continue & complete .
    I see what happened when I led my self innocently thinking Hey
    I'll get a yard container - - mix is $130 a ton & $200 freight cost will equal fuel
    SURE well 8500 pounds & $80 was the pay , BTW they don't pay walk in price per ton .
    Omittance of truth of per ton pay The wheeling and dealing's of scrap never end .




    Any way I need a $1000 by the 12 of Sept Will scrap do it ? -- it's up to me - What to sell


    I'll finish off with a cool picture of another scrapper brother or sister these trucks were all over
    A different time and place . I can't believe the police let me and others drive around like this
    these days Tarp or Ticket . Any how be well my fellow Recyclers

    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

    Maybe yes, maybe no, but his group will certainly try to sell their services to you. Anyway, I'm pretty much along for the ride and watching from the sidelines.
