I used to do maintenance for our condo corp. Part of that was replacing mill spec (unpainted) aluminum storm doors. I would save them up until I had 10 or so, clean them of all weather stripping and white metal or steel parts, and haul them off the to the scrap yard. I would get $50-$75 per load.
The corp decided to replace all the exterior tap cartridges, and found it cheaper to buy complete taps than it was to buy just the guts. I had 150 brass castings left over, which got me $65 at the scrapyard.
We had a real a$$hole of a tenant who skipped out on the rent, and all the wiring in the unit. The owner sold it as is. That was a real fixer-upper!
We had all our aluminum siding replaced with vinyl, and in the contract we had the contractor deduct the scrap value of the aluminum from the cost of materials. That was several thousand dollars.

Last time I junked a window unit they made me show them the receipt for the replacement,
Wanna sell 1 pound of copper here? YOu weigh it in, they frix a ticket, you create an account, give them a thumbprint,,a THUMBPRINT,, & theyll Mail you a check,,

Dang JOG.....what "police state" do you live in anyway???? No, on second thought don't answer that...Might bring repercussions to your neighborhood!  That just flat out SUCKS !!!



The scrapyard is in Longview Texas,,Of Course thers a "reason",, people stealing copper.. Well,, CRQAP, REally? You mean to tell me they cant tell the difference between some guy comin in once or twice a year with the kind of crap ya build up if youre doing some work around the house & one ancient window unit & someone who comes in every coupla weeks with a coula hundred pounds of copper?  Nooo,, its just soo much easier to play "Guilty till proven innocent",,

I work at a scrap yard in TX.  We can definitely tell the difference.  There are red flags that are easy to spot.  We have working relationships with all the law enforcement agencies in the region and bust thieves pretty regularly.  It's the law in Texas that requires us to get ID's and receipts.  TX is somewhat lenient, too.  As someone said earlier they had to give thumbprints.  Some states require pictures of the customers selling scrap, some require the scrapyard to hold the material for a period of time before sending payment.  Each state govt can regulate as they see fit.   Shocked
