Nice ! The most I've made in one run was $30.65 (250 pounds of iron & steel & 5 pounds of aluminum). But the most in one day was $38.63 (between two runs I had 271 pounds of steel & iron & 14 pounds of aluminum). The vehicle I used to both of those runs that day was a 2000 Honda Civic. It handled the weight horribly which was one of the reasons I bought a truck (oddly enough it can't do anything yet ). I have the receipts to prove it.

Still it must have been an awesome haul.

Now back the regular scheduled thread...

Know what I hate... when my youngest niece bit my left nipple . That hurts ! I really don't like kids (but that was covered earlier).

Awesome ! I like it when people recycle ! From the looks of it I would say that you got ~$55 for all of that.

I bought a pickup for 100$ kept the motor and the welder/generator out of the back, made a pickup box trailer, hauled the rest of it in, along with the remains of my wheeler and got $164, sold my old pickup box trailer for $300, and than used the new box trailer to haul more scrap in for $90 more.

Some times we have good prices here, most of the time not so much. I just haul crap in to get it out of my yard!

That is what I'm currently doing. It's how I raised a small part of my funds for Rustoleum (including herself too). It took 13 months from having the will to save a lot (well for me at the moment) of money to the acquirement of Rustoleum [even though I can't afford her]. But, even with all of her problems I wouldn't give her up for the world.

the best i ever did was $900 in crushed beer cans in one run around 15 years ago.
another time i made $3000 in one day when i was asked to clean out an old ambulance company. 100 gurneys at $300 each.
the next day i ran 10 loads over the scales 3 loads of 6.9 and 7.3 diesel blocks, 3 loads of transmissions, 2 loads of rotors, and 2 loads of drums.
then there were a few in-floor lifts, and 5 stripped rigs that went out.
i cleared close to $10,000 that week, and ran close to 50,000 lbs over the scales
