Bale/Baling?

**ScrappyMcGee** · 02-28-2011, 11:44 PM

I was told to strip white appliances down to nothing and bring them in as bale.

I stripped down two washers and a drier in pretty decent time and I'm going to wait until I've got a full truckload before I bring it in. Also been saving the casings from microwaves and computers.

My question is: Is this the most effective way to deal with white tin?

I keep trying to get away from white tin and it keeps finding me.

White tin goes to mixed scrap for me. I don't have the space to store flattened tin, plus the payout isn't a whole lot more than mixed scrap, so I don't find it useful.

I use larger appliances for holding smaller stuff. BUT, it gets heavy - fast. I use a tractor with forks to load - almost no loading or unloading by hand.

Yup, found that out this morning. Two positives came out of it:

- the price difference b/w white tin and black tin allowed me to pick up a nice bottle of bourbon
- breaking down the appliances gave me great opportunity to use my new pry bar and piss the neighbours off with a lot of noise at 8 am

Man if my yard was like everyones here it would suck
you dont have to mix and match anything that can go through the shredder they give you $11 per 100

The scrap yard in Trenton, NJ takes white goods in one piece and pays the light iron price ($215 a ton as of March 5th).

Up to the scrapper to take out electric motors, wire and anything else worth more than the light iron price.
