BIG Recycling Day {trip1 part2}

12/1/12 continued

Yesterday's post {HERE} shared that we had a HUGE pile of cans waiting for us at the trailer...add that to an already full truck of "random metals" and that equals 2 trips to the recycling center! 

This post is the second part of yesterday's trip. We unloaded the cans that fit in the truck bed first and recycled 98 pounds of aluminum cans! Next up were the random metals. 

When you recycle random metals, the workers have to test each metal piece and figure out what category to place them in and what to give you for prices. Here are some of the categories and the amounts recycled today: 

• White Goods- 57 lbs
• Yellow Brass- 3 lbs
• Copper- 0 lbs (we had several pieces but they didn't total over a pound)
• Extruded- 6 lbs
• Aluminum Old Sheet- 3 lbs
• Die Cast- 2 lbs
• White Goods (again)- 2 lbs
• Big Batteries- 20 lbs

Total pounds recycled today: 93

Total pounds of "random metals" recycled for C4C as of 12/1: 153 pounds!!!!

Come back tomorrow to see what happened when we went back to get the cans from the church:)
