[Today’s run: 3.5 miles]
I arose early this morning and loaded up my transformer-stripped copper, transformer steel, and the steel hulk of the old UPS and took it all to the scrap yard.
The copper will yield over $100 and the steel was another $20+. I also picked up a check for last week’s copper delivery. So. the garage has produced $200 in scrap metal in the last two weeks.
I need to get back out and sweep and arrange a bit, reclaiming the floor space.
The scrap yard was in full operation today. They have an area for drive-up/drop off, anything that is unusual. Then they have the big scrap yard. The yard has a number of big long-armed crane things with either grabbers or magnetic fittings and they are always lifting stuff up and putting it down in other piles. When I dropped the old hulk of the UPS out of the back of my truck, I turned the truck around and a magnet guy had already picked it up and moved it. There were piles of engines and parts of motorcycles and just all sorts of stuff.
I also saw people bringing in cars on flatbed trucks and trailers today. So now I know I can take the engine-less old truck in there when I’m done with it.
