Does this place pay for cooper and brass?

[oldrustycars]

I drive that maroon Mack rolloff next to Brandenberg

[SRCOS45]

I think that plant is General Iron Industries over on N. Clifton Ave. I am not from Chicago I do however know where all the car shredders are.

[metalrec1]

[POLOINCHI]

[MrCriticOfAll]

[eastcoastadam]

yeah it definitely is a big grapple, just a little over 7 feet tall, i should know I run one everyday :)

[eastcoastadam]

ah shit good old brandenburg just hauled 100 tons into my scrap yard in baltimore, md just a few monthe ago.

[voeguy]

100 tons? i live on a crappy little island in scotland and we procces more than 100 tons an hour? how big is your yard?

[metalrec1]

what size hammermill do you have and how much horse is your motor?

[voeguy]

we got rid of our hammer mill because the power station here is'nt big enough to handle the powere consuption of it lol so we cube the lite iron and chop the heavy metal into 5foot chunks and send 1000 tons of it away at a time in scrap boats to places like china ect,

we have 2 crushers, an antient copex and a new lefort (french peice of crap). we work with leiber scrap handlers (912, 932, 2x934 and a 954). its amazing how much scrap a small island an produce lol

cheers

Thats a badass Terex 35 ton rock truck. Is that a 12V71 or a 8V71? I can't tell.  Solid tires on the back for scrap work. Reminds me of Amix Salvage yard in Vancouver Canada.
