Lowgrade

Anyone in southern california know a yard that takes lowgrade? I just hate throwing it into my tin pile and would like to know.

A yard in Ontario, I just started using them and have not sold them any boards yet, I'm going to take some steel in to them and a 200 to 300 pounds of low grade boards will let you know Friday/Saturday.

Alright thanks, could you give me the name of this yard by any chance?

I'll send you a PM (when I get home from work), don't know them well enough to be giving them free advertising!

There is an economy of scale. When you save up enough higher quality boards to make a shipment to your favorite buyer, check to see how much more it would to send in your low grade boards, too. I won't send low grade boards to shred, as it is not earth friendly.

Places here now buy them so I don't add them to the steel. Even to get $.10 for brown board is better than $.03 for the shred

I will hold them before I have them shredded with "shred", shredding PCB's is not a good thing as far as mixing them with other scrap, not the best use of a resource!

I agree some things get shredded that have them in them, fridges, cars, microwaves and such. But adding pounds of boards that you removed from stuff to the shred pile as is, is not the best use of a resource.
