The stuff I sell belongs to my employer, so all the money goes back to them. I get a check from the yard, and turn it in.

If you work for a government agency it would seem the stuff you sell belongs to the taxpayers. Shouldn't the money go back to them?Originally Posted by DigMeOut

We auction off surplus equipment, but we do better just selling the scrap metal.

I'd rather not say what government agency. As far as types of scrap; steel, brass, copper, lead acid batteries, aluminium, car bodies, catalytic converters, radiators, etc.
Do your scrap sales go back into the operating budget?
Experienced Scrapper
That's above my pay grade, skylinejack. I figure that getting the best possible price for the metal we sell is serving the taxpayers.... of which I am one.
Experienced Scrapper
Yes. You'd have to talk to our business office for the details.......

Although your answers seem somewhat evasive it looks as if you've been raked over the coals pretty good here. So, WELCOME ABOARD!! Sit back, relax, and read, read, read. Only then should you start asking questions. On second thought, seeing as how you answered all those questions above without blowing your cool I'd say you've earned the right to ask 2 dumb questions. (A feat never before achieved) lol So go ahead, hit us with your best shot.

Do you really think a guy who's doing his level best to maximize the value of scrap is in a position to set policy?
