LOL, I busted the window out of the back of my cap with a wild toss so I put a piece of plywood on there and decided it was a good canvas for some advertizement.

All in good fun. Might have come out wrong. Like Isaid...circumstances. By the way, I'm guessing right close to the 1500 mark...assuming the appliances are stuffed.

No thinking to it.

My yard don't care how little or how much they take. I have seen people come in with a couple pieces and they gave them the going rate.

I was turning in the good stuff one day and the guy next to me thru down less then 2 ft pc of brass threshhold that didn't weigh but a few ounces, I wasn't sure if I should feel bad for him or laugh.

He made money then. If its anything like my yard if you have just a few ounces on thier scale you get paid for a full pound.

Well its Friday so its time for the answer.
The yard paid me for 1700 lbs.
There were some good guesses here, it was fun seeing them all. When I get another load we will try it again.

One was loaded, the others were empty. Some of those appliances were very old and heavy. Not like the new ones.

LOL, my first guess was 1711 lbs. I wasn't even thinking when I typed it. Then I thought, "wait, it's going to be in 20lb increments." So I edited the post and rounded up to 1720 instead of down to 1700. Darn. So close
I usually use my 7x16 trailer. But I also have a similar 6x10 trailer that I have used before. I know the last time I used it I had 1440 lbs on it did not look as loaded as yours.

I tend to let scrap pile up for way to long before I take any in. Actually the only reason I took this load in was because I had 3 refrigerators sitting there and I dont like having them pile up. Even though I discharge them properly, untrained eyes can cause problems that I don't need.

A little FYI about draining freon. There are three main types of refrigerants in older appliances. Dichloroflouromethane, Trichlorofluoromethane and monochlorofluoromethane. All three are different mixes of the same three gasses; fluorene, chlorene and methane. None of these three refrigerants are lighter than air and at ambient temperatures will seek the lowest places. At ambient temperatures in open air they eventually seperate and dissipate. At which time the methane, which is lighter than air, rises and the fluorene and chlorene sink because they're heavier than air. However, it is the latter two which are blames for eating a hole in the ozone layer. So! How do these gasses get several miles into the upper atmosphere to eat up the ozone?
Explanation; DuPont made freon and when the patent ran out you could buy a 1 pound can for as little as ,79 cents. DuPont funded the enviro-nuts who made up the fluorocarbon scare and freon was banned! So who do you think stepped in with the new 134a refrigerant to save the day at several dollars per can? DuPont! Explains a lot doesn't it?

This scam has caused the licensing of all A/C and refrigeration businesses and literally tens of millions in extra cost to the consumer over the past few years.
I've found over the years that knowing the truth about a matter doesn't help much. It just raises the blood pressure.

Yeah, I've actually heard that from several people before. When patents are only a few years from running out, expect a new "friendly" refrigerant to be ready for market. And expect the last "safe" refrigerant to be branded as "dangerous."
