    Shred Today, A Nice Surprise

    Did not expect 5.5 cents a pound. I cleaned out the shop. Brass, copper, alum, cans.... a little of everything

    I have to say, the crew at suncoast have always treated me very nicely. I really had a mixed load and I had it fairly well sorted. The guys there looked at my wires and informed me of the difference between extension wire and Romex. Nice difference on price. I asked about elec cord ends.. no problem. Sorted my copper for me, I didn't have a huge amount, but they pulled it apart for me. Brass they expect from me and they laugh when I make sure I get my brass containers I use to tote my metals back. They have even written the weight on them.

    If you want a wide range of prices for the day, enjoy the ride. I made a point of going back and giving both $5 tip.

    When you say "shred", do you mean you actually shred your metal and take it to a yard?

    When you say "Shred", do you mean you shred your own material and sell it?
