successful beginning

Hey all, just started scrapping and took our first load to the scrap yard. (weoooo! exciting!) We knew it wasnt going to be much but wanted to see how much we would get to see if it was worth it. We had 12 pounds of copper which was 2.80 a pound 28 pounds of copper motors at .15 a pound and 89 pounds of shreddable steel which totaled $4.20. Overall we made 40$ and our truck was barley filled. Made a few phone calls and might be collecting pop cans from a local restaurant and also contacted a local auto shop who said we were welcome to take whatever scrap metal he has laying around for free. He said he often has transmissions and motors lying around! looks like we hit the jackpot.



Happy picking!
