Checking Out My Scrapyard Receipt

First, I'm pretty sure you meant to say: Then you go inside to a different area and turn in whatever you have for non ferrous items...



Second, you listed #2 wire, but didn't give a quantity, so it's hard to know exactly why the sum of the non-ferrous goods doesn't quite total up to the difference between what they paid you for shred and what your net weight was.

It sounds like they subtracted the weight of the non-ferrous stuff (presumably 248 lbs.), from the Net Weight, and paid you for 1800 lbs., even though the scale said you had dropped off 2048 lbs.

So, they beat you out of $9.92.

They're either dishonest or incompetent.

Everywhere I've ever gone, I've unloaded the non-ferrous first, before going across the big scale.

They have you go thru ferrous first at this yard. That's the amount I came up with too that I was ripped off. They said if I feel like they ripped me off that i don't have to go back there.
