whats the most youve made in one scrap run. - Page 2

haha yes. heres a few more pics, i thought the guys at the yard would be mad but they didnt say a thing

Does that say "For Sale"?

Did it run? Could have done some demolition derby before turning it in haha.

hahaha yep, 2 grand and it was yours . it was just a joke. and nah i couldnt get it to run, i ruined the key switch by trying to drive a screw driver into it to try and unlock the steering and shifting but it just made a big mess. i had some big plans for it if i coulda got it running but couldnt do it. theres a few more cars im going to check into this spring and hopefully ill get one i can pound on and then junk

Just the other day I broke my record- $250 for a van and 4x8 trailer full.

245.00 + 3.24 + 39.10 + 4.95 = 292.29. Do they take taxes out or something?

Oh, ok. Good haul though.

Worked for an electrical contractor in 1998 and we replaced all the wires under the flight line on Little Rock AFB. We hauled in four loads of 4/0 wire on a 30 ft gooseneck trailer. Copper was low back then, but it was several thousand dollars. My personal cut was a little over $700.

Since I've started scrapping again, Little over 1200lbs of mixed metal, and a few electric motors for $150.

$105.60 960 pounds of mixed sheet...maiden run since I quit my job...$220 ton at this yard

I made 160 in a days work, 2 loads though.

does anyone scrap tires? if so, is it profitable? and also anyone know where in Va you can scrap tires

scrap metalscrap metalscrap metalscrap metal! made $270 today. was hoping to beat my $325 but came close. 25 pounds of #1, 34 pounds of insulated, and 41 pounds of #2 and 11 pounds of brass

$817 including 61 Car Batteries I found yesterday.

Found 61 car batteries at a dump spot, $366 for that alone. The rest was from mostly bulk trash pick up for one weeks worth.

i am small time, but trying to grow. Have done a couple jobs that were $3,000 plus, total. My best single load so far was today...a lil over $1100. A friend and I are bidding a partnership job. If it comes through, it will be about a $20,000 job.
