My first junk removal job

I put my first junk removal ad on Craigslist yesterday and my first haul was 4 office printers and a big copier. 3 of the 4 printers work great. Can anyone estimate the scrap value of this? Getting 8 towers from the same place in a few days... the Christmas lights came out of a dumpster :)

If they all work great, turn right back around on CL/ebay and sell them, you will get more!

The guy said the big copier didn't work. But just to be sure I dropped it loading it into the trailer. It's a heavy sob, didn't realize it's 2 halves. The top half just sits on the base.

I tore down a big copier like that and it was a lot of fun....sorry I didn't itemize everything, but it had miles of wires, some aluminum and lots of steel. I think you'll enjoy it. Congratulations.

Not to give you a hard time, but I think your title mean't to read "my first escrap removal job", as that is not what we classify as junk. Junk removal is things that generally scrappers would just pass on by as not seeing money in the items.

I think you misread it george. He said he got it from his CL junk removal ad. So the person who called him to pick it up thaught it was junk :)

I know, but he is the one that did put the title though, that is what I was referring to.

In all honesty, I was just giving him a hard time. Been countless times when we all have referred to scrap metal as junk.

Got a call once to pick up a scrap car, when I arrived at the guys yeard I had to ask where the car was. Turns our I'm standing right beside it a 1951 Chevy 2 door HT, 6 cyclinder with a poower glide automatic. Could have drove it home, all that was wrong a few spark plugs wires on the wrong plugs a bit of rust on the rocker panels.

I did take in home, then sold it. My personal project car at the time was a 1958 Studebaker Silver Hawk, 2 door HT, V8 with a 3 speed standard with overdrive.

great job. You should do hard work to be a professional junk removal and should focus on your work.
