Had a pretty decent year for doing this part time. My totals for 2010 are:

Steel/tin - 32,350 lbs (like that Tennesee Ernie Ford song goes, I loaded 16 tons)
AL breakage - 182 lbs
Aluminum - 337 lbs
Alum/copper coolers (clean) - 222 lbs
Copper - 49 lbs
Electric motors - 110 lbs
Whole compressors - 178 lbs
Insulated copper - 67 lbs
Brass - 36 lbs
Batteries - 321 lbs
Stainless steel - 166 lbs
Auto radiators - 20 lbs

Total compensation received - $3430.10

I have quite a bit more copper than I sold, but I am hoarding it (have probably about 150 lbs), thinking it may take off once the economy starts coming back and building starts back up.

The vast majority of the money went to purchase 1/4 ounce AGE (3) and a BUNCH of junk 90% silver. I purchased quite a bit of the silver early in the year, so it has seen quite a bit of an increase.

Merry Christmas and Happy scrapping!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some people that is more than enough to get by. Especially if you garden and fish. Or do as John Hoffman did in his book "The art and science of dumpster diving " You can read a copy on line funny book.
