I was making a pickup of some supplies and spotted an agricultural building being re-roofed. They were taking off the ag metal roof and replacing it. I asked what they were going to do with the roofing -- scrap it -- I asked how much? and they said $160/ton. So I said I'd pay $320 a ton and they said DEAL.
1500lbs of metal roofing at around 2 cents a pound. Total was $249. Enough to build my new cow barn and a loafing shed. I love recycling!
Sound like $0.17 per pound to me. Still a great deal.
ReplyDeleteIf the material is still in good condition, that’s totally a great deal! Besides, metal is an excellent roofing material – it is highly durable, resistant to extreme weather conditions, and environmentally friendly. This kind of stuff is worthy of getting recycled and re-used. Hope you already finished your cow barn and loafing shed by now! :D
