I just started scraping on my vacation about a week ago, and i like it so much i'm thinking about working part-time so i can do it more. However, i was told to separate my metals and i did that today but they wouldn't let my steel be considered steel because it wasn't an inch think. I'm i missing something here who gets inch thick steel. I work around Las Vegas if that helps at all. thanks

Never heard of anything having to be an inch. Here's some generally common guidelines I'd written up a while back:

People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Yards by me in So. AZ pay sheet iron price for most steel. Right now it is .095 a lb.

I get paid the same rate for iron, steel, tin, and mixed, no matter the size.
There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer

plan on many more times of scrap yards bending you over in many different ways. in ten years, the tables will be turned. yard see you as a virgin.

On the contrary, I will never work for another person ever again. I like being the boss now (of myself, of course!).
