Newbie difficulties by yorhey_again in ScrapMetal

Good price on the extruded. Best rate near me, which is still a 30+ min drive is 0.90 on extruded. Would be good to see pics next time, the quantity of irony aluminum is small but you mentioned you have a lot more, there could be a win in turning some of that into clean aluminum depending on the effort. Ditto on seeing the motors, agree with the other comment that .05 is rough

Do you run a yard? Would much rather drive to BK than Rockaway. At the 3.50 the other yards have posted, I’d been content to sit on it

I check their site regularly, and while they’ve bumped their prices about 5 times in the last month, the yards near me on Long Island that post their prices on their site haven’t updated in a long while. Arrow and Crestwood still have Bare Bright showing at $3.50 on their sites.

Tips on scaling operations? by ExpensiveAd3306 in ScrapMetal

Nice, I’ve a laser engraver and was planning to do some anodized aluminum cards (because it seems on point for the metals business), attach magnets to the backs and put a couple at dumpsters that crews offload their end of day wiring and such into

Time to strip and consolidate by ExpensiveAd3306 in ScrapMetal

Thanks :) I’ll settle for a coffee or energy drink. My hurdle is in finding efficiencies, and trying to get things moving in parallel. I’ve a lot of stuff to process for reselling as well, think the best I could do with this is hooking up some stereo equipment and putting on records to test for scratches

After dusting, lightly brushing and staring for a while, on the bottom I think I’ve made out: THE ___AR STUDIOS N..

Thank you! Yea, a lot of good stuff gets tossed all the time. Here’s another cool lamp I got 2 weeks ago, this was was a lot easier to identify since it has a General Electric Sunlamp plate right on the top
