Always check Auto Parts store dumpsters

Hoss, as a suggestion - what I did was buy a bunch of those plastic 55 gallon barrels at an outlet store and put them at garages for them to throw stuff in. Get lids or drill holes in the side near the bottom (a 55 gal barrel half full of rain water is awfully heavy). Stencil your company name on the side. Now you've got something to show the cops that you've got a reason for being there when the store is closed.

Congratulations!!

Sometimes you get a extra NZ$20 if all of your steel scrap
(bolts & nuts, shafts & small heavy steel castings like fridge compressors)
is inside a 55 gallon steel drum allready (full, with a lifting chain allready done on it)

Old drums can be picked up for free, Its best to get old ones I guess.

I won't suggest using ex fuel filled drums, they are very dangerous when you go to cut the top off.

Even chisling the top of can be dangerous, as doing the chisling can make a spark & that can ignite the fuel vapour inside it, making a deathly explosion. Same with gas torch or grinder etc.

Put the top end of the drum inside down at the bottom to strengthen it up a bit. I allways chuck in a few bits of sheet metal to dissipate the load on the bottom end.

Cut two hole in the sides near the top & run a old chain thru them & bolt the ends together to use as a lifting sling for forklifts & cranes.

What type of outlet store did you get them from Mick.

I normally get the orange construction buckets from Home Depot. They are like 4.5 per bucket.

Right now, I use the big rubbermaid storage containers that sit in the back of my truck that I put small motors, wire, copper, aluminum, etc in.

Surplus salvage store. I was thinking one thing and typed another. Sentence - 50 lashes with a wet noodle.

I will have to Google and see if there is any near me, which I am sure with all of this area, there has to be atleast 1!

I'm beginning to wonder about your "self-sentencing" of punishment-by-noddle

She said noodle,,,hehehe









Think Beavis and Butthead while repeating after me,,,

I have been going in Auto Repair shops, chains, golf cart stores, collision repair, and talking to manager leaving a flyer. I got same response at a few that another poster mentioned, bring a bin, labeled and we will save our stuff for you. My bf has agreements with several around town who are doing this for him also. My flyers list, in detail, items I am searching for. I also note that there are some things I will consider buying, but not specific on the flyers. See here my first 'bought' load, just the other day, from one of the auto repair shops I am now working with. I still have a TON to learn...I prolly coulda made a lot more if I knew what the heck I was doin'.
