    Clean Sheet at 2 cents ?

    I'm a newbie. I'm confused to what clean sheet is. When my cousin went to the yard he had 920 lbs of clean sheet. He got $23 at .025 a pound. Was he shortened out of money? lol don't judge me , I'm confused .

    Sounds like he was paid for light iron, if it was clean sheet aluminum then yes he should have received quite a bit more.

    Ok , well it sounds like he was paid correctly , bc I'm pretty sure it wasn't clean sheet aluminum.

    By me sheet iron is steel with stuff
    Clean sheet iron is metal only stuff removed and clean sheet iron pays more than sheet iron

    A shredder is something like this:



    Metal is loaded on the conveyor, and it is carried up to the bin on top. There, it is shredded into smaller pieces. Think of it as a really manly paper shredder for metal. They're beasts!
