You Ain't Right Club

[maki2]

Is this still a "not feeling right" thread?
 I'm not feeling right. I can't get out of my own way. I got a house full of junk and have a ton of work to do on my house.I have a wild belief that this junk is worth something I spend my time on the internet wasting my time.  I've got maybe $800 in scrap metal to take to the scrap yard  but need a rent a truck or buy a van to get it up there. I can't figure what kind of budget for the van i want to get. So yea..

Now you ain't right for sure. You have to keep up on the news. China does not want our scrap metal anymore (political backlash) so it lost its value, or at least the steel and iron stuff did. You can still get OK dollars for aluminum and stainless. So check with the scrap buyers before you rent a truck and load it up.  My local land waste facility at least does provide a free place to dump the scrap steel and cast iron. At present all we save to take into the buyers is aluminum and stainless. Used to be we could get scrap metal haulers to drop by for the steel but now they are making their money by charging us to take it. Of course that is not going to happen since we have a big van of our own and the waste drop off place is close by.
