I'm trying to send a bunch of photos from my phone to my laptop so I'll have some IRL photos to show you guys. before then, let me tell you a thing or two that I've learned:
1. Don't bother taking in any scrap aluminum or scrap steel (unless you have tonnes). The guy at the scrap yard said scrap steel is worth 60 bucks a tonne or something like that. Just throw that stuff out. It is not worth your time.
2. Car batteries. Right before I left my house to go to the scrap yard, I removed an old, dead battery from my hobby truck. Smart move. I got 32 cents per pound for that sucker. I made $13 bucks just with a couple turns of a wrench. (keep in mind,in canada, everyone pays a 30$ deposit for every car battery that is sold). Also, I saw a guy with a trailer who had about 50 car batteries in his truck. he must have made a small fortune.
Pic related. I'll have better photos later.
