Hey, ya'll

I work for a state agency doing highway maintenance. We've got a pile of miscellaneous scrap metal of all kinds piled high. I'm talkin' this is a huge pile of scrap!!!

Well, it's being sold online from what I understand. I've heard a few stories from guys that have worked here for a while that have seen scrappers buy the pile and come get it to take to sale. It's only done every five or six years or so. Apparently it's quite profitable.



Needless to say, I want in on it!

Question is....

Do I HAVE to separate everything out according to type to take to a scrap yard, or can I just load it in a 10 yard dump truck and take it to 'em? Basically, move the entire pile from our yard to the scrap metal yard. I figure that I'd get a lot less money if I did it that way, but the state is only gonna' give the winning bidder a certain amount of time to have the pile removed. I'm not sure what that time is, but I figure it'd take a newbie (me) quite a while to get the hang of separating the pile out into different types.....and there is A LOT to go through.

Thanks!
