Hello from Northern VA

Hi everyone,

I have gotten interested in scrapping when I had to dispose of two refrigerators and the landfill wanted to charge me $45 each and the scrap yard paid me $15 each!!! I like beer money!!!

I just joined and have some items to dispose of and think that scrapping might be the best way. I am from the northern Virginia area. Yesterday I took a car to the scrap yard and didn't know about the value of the catylatic converter. Now I see it might have been worth a $100 or so. I joined so that I can get advice about the other items I have to scrap and not make another mistake like that.

Currently, I have a single axle fuel truck to dispose of that has an aluminum fuel tank on it(maybe 3000 gallons in size), a 60's era rubber tired loader (maybe 10-12 tons) and two tooltrailers with some old 4 inch pumps and a lot miscelaneous stuff like buckets of stainless steel bolts.

I am open to any advice to dispose of these items without getting to labor intensive.



I look forward to get to know other members and learn about recycling.

If this goes good maybe I will take it on as a hobby.
