new to the forum but not scrapping

[Jarred]

Hey my name is Jarred Hodges. I am 22 and from Alabama. My main interest is drag racing and cars but I also fool with scrap and worked as a scrap burner for a friend that runs a small yard. My favorite aspect of the scrap business is doing burning on large jobs. I learned about everything I know from my dad who has fooled with scrap in one way or another for 40 years. The only aspect of this business that I am not familiar with is ewaste. When it lets me post pics I will post some of my truck and so on. I'm not sure what else to say so I'll quit rambling

Hello from Denver, You can post pics after 1 post but you always need to use a photo hosting site.

I think this is one of the widely used video's we have, I know I've probably wore it out with all the links I've posted.

old pics

an old rv we scrapped

old truck I bought to get the 460 and filled with scrap


a more recent pic. work was slow and we had a bunch of old tires that were saved for random reasons and wanted to clean up. I figured why not get the rims out. I broke them all down with a slide hammer

another pic of my pickup hauling scrap

about a year ago I spent about 3 months cutting copper bars from these motors. All in all me and another guy cleaned about 100 tons of them. There were a few that were not cut at the time because the boss didn't have a rescue saw to cut the copper ends. These were threw to the side and I asked about cleaning them and we worked a deal that benefitted both of us. The F350 was down at the time so I had to pull it with my f100 and it was scary. My driveway is steep and I thought the transmission was going to explode. lol

my poor little truck

this is about all the pics I have of my scrapping. I usually don't take pics

Scrappers Porn at it's best.

Good job getting your pic's in, and yes definitely looks like a scrappers paradise.
If you like pic's of big burning fields then check out these by one of our "big burners".
He pops a few in here cause he knows how much we enjoy seeing something truly huge being dismantled.

the biggest thing I have ever cut would be either a d8 cat or a tumbler that was used to screen coal I believe. It weighed 29 tons if I remember right.
