[QUOTE="Star*, post: 525282, member: 4964"] There is a place here called CMC. Someting metals Recycling place. Recycling places are ALL over in COlumbia, SC. There are places that take just cans, and places that take ALL metal. The place DF goes to takes everything but tires, microwaves, - they have a list outside the gate. But you drive in over the scale, get weighed. Even if you are in a car - they weigh the car. Then you go to the back lot, unload and come back and drive over the scale again. The ticket tells how much scrap metal you had. Then you get prices for different things - Shred only (just junk) or copper (you have to have a license and be registered with the sheriffs dept to do that now) or if you have aluminum cans you just go right to the scales and dump them on the scales. Engine parts are weighed differently - Or brass - it's all very organized. For a smelly place (due to pooling water) it's actually very busy and organized. We have a scrap car too and that is a whole differnt game. They go over the scale, and are now worth between $350 - $500.00. I've had this SUV for about 8 years and I've take all the parts off it I can. It's really junk - so Now it's the mortgage payment and part of the light bill. The backyard looks great. OMG I'm so happy AND the neighbor lady saw us taking a load of junk and GAVE us her roof. I nearly passed out. She said everyone and their scrapper brother has asked for it - and we've never asked her for squat. Just watched out for her and never said boo.
