Clean Sheet at 2 cents ?

[yungwizkid]

I'm a newbie. I'm confused to what clean sheet is. When my cousin went to the yard he had 920 lbs of clean sheet. He got $23 at .025 a pound. Was he shortened out of money? lol don't judge me , I'm confused .

Sounds like he was paid for light iron, if it was clean sheet aluminum then yes he should have received quite a bit more.

Ok , well it sounds like he was paid correctly , bc I'm pretty sure it wasn't clean sheet aluminum.

By me sheet iron is steel with stuff
Clean sheet iron is metal only stuff removed and clean sheet iron pays more than sheet iron

Interesting, do you sell to a yard with a shredder?

[yungwizkid]

what's a stredder ?? I'll look for it tomorrow when I go back to the yard.

A shredder is something like this:



Metal is loaded on the conveyor, and it is carried up to the bin on top. There, it is shredded into smaller pieces. Think of it as a really manly paper shredder for metal. They're beasts!

no shredder at the yard with the clean sheet iron category.

I went to the scrap yard for the first time. I had 860 lbs of iron . I got a whooping $23 bucks . It's better than nothing , I guess .

Just got $.029 a pound for it vs sheet iron .0165
