    My first load....

    First off i want to say thank you for all the information and opinions from the members here awesome site!

    Second i want to say that you were right, i dont know exactly who YOU are but there was a couple of you, i wasnt going to save tin/shred i just wanted copper brass aluminum and motors, well i had a fridge a freezer and a dish washer full of **** metal and yes it adds up and i will now be saving everything!! Lol



    My yard was shady tweekers lined up down the street breaking apart tvs and stripping wire i was somewhat nervous and im not a daisy....but the employees were helpful and the three guys that i dealt with were highly impressed with my seperating skills, (thank you scrap metal forum) as well as my payout, i guess they are used to paying out bycycle trailors, it was only a bit over 200. I couldnt have put in more than a solid days work spread out here and there, i am happy and just about ready to takE in another load, thanks again guys you have made the valuable information available in one place on this forum and its appreciated.

    i had to "google" "what is a tweaker?" I think "tweaking" "used to be" somebody streamlining something


    That wink facie, looks like it's been tweaked a few times too many huh lol

    Right...Tweaking used to be making something that was good into something that was great, now I would say it means a POS.

    Great lob Igigi!

    Great job Igigi, sometimes it's fun to watch the tweekers try to get that tiny bit of wire out.
