    Here in Pittsburgh you will almost never be more than 15 minutes from the scrap yard. When you walk into the yard remember they ae not doing you a favor by taking your metal nor are you doing them a favor bringing them your metal. I know some of you guys struggle with your yards, but most of mine ill be glad to educate you as to what they expect. I have been doing this for quite a while and always ask the yard how they want things. It seems to me that everyone values the cost of labor. Every yard here I have talked to would rather take my stuff and put it in the right category to be shipped off.

    The guy that works the scale is the man. Make friends with him and you will earn more over time. Often grading is at his discretion.
