Default Visit to a scrap yard

I've taken scrap to several places, in Rochester, NY area. I'll never go
back to Kreigers, because they have several times short weighted me at the
scales. Even when I'm standing next to the guy and watching the scale, they
still short me.

Other yards are more honest. One time I had a load of BX electical cable.
Phoned. One yard quoted me 5 cents a pound for scrap, another yard quoted I
think 80 cents a pound for the copper content. Good idea to call around.

My cousin did scrapping for a couple years until he recently got a job in
his field again. He said he did ok working 3 days a week but he worked 5 or
6 when he could because it can be pretty brutal work in the winter time
where he lives.
