    scrappers

    Well since ynsmh is gone, does anyone have a scrapper they use that isn't some crackhead in a rusted out truck? I've got 2 blocks and misc scrap I want gone but no truck to do it myself.

    Yes I know several white collar scrappers you might mistake them for a doctor or a judge.

        You'd be amazed at the guys making a good living on scrapping. I talked to a guy one of the last runs we did at work. He picked up old computers for free from people. Paid some kid 7 an hour to desolder chips then sold the boards for basic copper scrap. Then sold the microchips for another basic scrap value. Then took the CPUs and had the gold chemically extracted and sold the chips after. Guy had it all figured out. And he looked like a complete bum. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
        god damned tinypic.

          I have no doubt they can make good money. Heck it's even worth saving brake rotors in now. Anything with electric motors can have the copper unwound. Those guys can get creative and I was thinking about it the other day, they really are a value to our society and economy, its way better to recycle that stuff than just have it sitting wasting, helps control prices too. That industry won't ever get recognition though just because of how the people are viewed. But yeah they can really make a living and that's great.

              We have a scrap bin at the lot if you want to dump some crap. We don't pay though.

                          I am not a crack head but I do have rusty pickups. Lol I can come and get it if you want. I usually pile stuff up till I get a load then go to st Paul.
                          Doesn't matter to me either way. I am home on vacation this week.
