    Nuts in a drum

    I read that if you fill a 55 Gallon drum with nuts, bolts, screws & springs.



    You get a extra $20 just for making the job easy for them, its high grade steel too, extra $$.

    Has anybody done this before? What was the weight of the bolt filled drum?
    What was the value of the steel, being high grade steel.

    Haha....Sounds like whoever you talked too has some extra nuts in their drum as well....

    All goes as tin. Nothing special 'round these parts. Just dump it and go. Might be different where you are though. Dont know.
