Need some info on scrapping price

Can someone please tell me how much cash your looking at from the scrap yard when you scrap a 28x55 doublewide trailer with all appliance and an extra upright freezer ?

Thanks for your time

If you find someone that will give you $300 for it, you will come out ahead. Take the money and spend some time with your kids. It will be a better investment.

The cash you will receive is whatever your local scrap yard happens to be paying per pound for the items you mentioned above.

Some yards won't take them due to the amount of non metal. You also have appliances with refrigerant to deal with.

That's odd I never heard of a yard that doesn't take appliances. If I'm not mistaken the price the mills give them factors in a certain amount of fluff for shred.

They may not take the trailer due to the non metal items, Ie floor, walls cabinrts, etc. Refrigerators have refrigerant that must be revovered. Some yards take as id, some only if evacuated and some charge.

I wouldn't touch it without charging $1000.

Ohh I misread the question. I thought the guy was asking about a trailer full of scrap(trailer like the kind you hitch to your vehicle). Yeah a lot of yards won't take mobile homes since they're mostly junk very little metal.

Thanks for all the comments. a friend is having one torned down they gonna split the scrap money..his is an 84 model doublewide with metal roof lots of copper from fireplace gas logs plus extra breaker boxes. does 300.00 sound anywhere near what he may split??

There are a lot of variables that will determine how much they get. What types of metals, i.e., is the siding aluminum. Are they going to spend the time to get clean aluminum? What do the yards pay? Your regular yard may pay 50 cents for romex, where a speciality yard may be 135 or higher.
