1. I lost money on plastic. Steel and shred are the same thing at my yard. I cleaned my metal up WAY too much, and I spent more effort doing it than I should have.
2. If I am going to turn something in as Stainless, it has to be completely nonmagnetic. There is no distinction at my yard. If it is magnetic, it is considered Irony Stainless, therefore $0.10/lb. Clean Stainless was $0.41/lb.
3. My yard does not buy plug ends.
To the forum, I say thank you. I would not have made near this much if it were not for the free advice I got from many of you. I figure that I made at the very least $37 more than I would have had I not joined the forum. As soon as the check clears, I will be purchasing a
Scrap Room membership. The best part is, I still have an
e-waste shipment to send out.
I had to change my image hosting site. This is how the original post should have looked.
