I was at a scrap yard and I was very impressed.

First, they did not try to cheat me. I weighed some things prior to
going there and their weights were about same. Second, they had a very
menacing crushing excavator like monster made by Terex, that worked
like mad. Third, they were actually quite nice and gentle with me,
worked hard not to break my truck and trailer.

I scrapped 2.5 tons of steel and some misc stuff. Say, one machine
that I bought for $50 and could not sell on ebay for 299 (an antique
1928 paper cutter), fetched $300 in cash. Now I understand a little
better how those guys bid on machines at auctions and scrap them. It
is a very nice business with the rght capability. It would be a lot
easier to just drive that machine to a scrap yard.

I will be their regular client. The place is called Cozzi O Brien
Recycling.

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.

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.

LOL. I filled a propane bottle for my BBQ once at a local business. They
started with the meter on 0.2. Filled the hose before opening the bottle so
it jumped to .4 before opening my valve. Filled it to 4.7, and then wrote
down 5 gallons on the ticket. When I told the manager why I wouldn't be
coming back he just said, "Ok." LOL. I haven't been back. Not even for a
soda.

They did not seem to care, there probably was oil in that generator
engine that I scrapped (after taking off all valuable, small parts
like injection pump).

Each state must be different in that area. Here in Oregon, the scrappers
cannot accept any scrap material with oil or other prohibited liquids. I
was at Schnitzer Steel in Bend a few years ago and saw them turn away
several people bringing vehicles that had not been drained. Not their
rule, but the state EPA doesn't want the stuff spilled in the ground and
run off into the ground water.

When we lived in Washington, I took and old International truck engine
to a scrapper and had to certify that I had removed all oil, etc.

No one asked any questions, the engine was put on a scale, then tossed
in a pile to be ripped apart by the Terex Fuchs MHL 350 scrap tosser.

This is why real estate that used to be a scrapyard (and nearby sites)
can often be an environmental nightmare.. oil and other fluids
released get into the soil (and migrate by air or underground)-- and
it can cost millions of dollars to remediate.

If you seriously want to buy several tons or hundreds of lbs of tin,
contact me. I know someone who scraps #1 tin ingots. I may work out a
deal or something and make a couple of bucks.

I just want enough to raise the percentage of Tin in my lead
wheel-weight alloy to make it flow better. My scrap guy doesn't ever
get Tin, it's hard to find around here. Need some wire brushes?

I could use some tin too, but not hundreds of pounds.
Iggy / Tom - put together a joint purchase?
How much do we have to buy to get the guy to sell?

I still have access to linotype metal in ingots - I can ship 60 pounds
in a flat rate box - this seems to be a favored alloy. contact me via

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
