Scrap metal haul-away?
Does anyone have a recommendation for someone that will come remove scrap metal from our property in Tuftonboro? I ripped down a fence with a lot of rusty posts and wire fencing. I know I could haul it to the transfer station but it would probably take me all day with the number of trips I'd have to make.
Any advice would be appreciated! |

You could try Rich Piper. I don't know how busy he is.

Sorry I cant help but..
Boy if you were in Manchester you could get a dozen different people to take that away for free. I've actually had a couple that spent a few days cutting apart a piece of heavy machinery and haul it away for zippo to cash in at the scrap recycler. In fact, there always dumpster diving in my roll off so I just leave all my metal near it and it disappears and costs me less for disposal weight fees. And its recycled. What a great deal for all of us!

I have just one word for you "Craigslist"
I had some landscapping railroad ties I dug up from the entranceway to my basement so I could make a real bulkhead entrance with a block and cement foundation. The dump in Moultonborough wanted 8 cent per pound to take them off my hands. I figured I had about 800 pounds of ties which was going to cost me $64, plus my hard labor and time to get them there. My wife listed them as free items on Craig's list and within 2 hours I had 3 phone calls. Within one day I had 5 e-mails and 4 more phone calls. The day after I listed them, a nice couple came by and picked them up. Case closed.

Too far
We load my dump trailer up about once every 5 years with stuff for the scrap yard. I'd take your in a minute but I'd not make a dime because your just too far from the scrap yards, especially with gas as expensive as it is.

The scrap metal business pays about $0.08 per lb or $160/ton for light iron/steel type stuff today.It is often not worth bringing it to a local yard to deal with. We have a metal dumpster that sits at my warehouse that gets picked up when we call.
