A Test of Integrity

The Situation

Today we went to the scrap metal yard, as we usually do.   The process there is simple:

  1. Enter the yard and pull up on the scale with your truckload of metal.
  2. Get weighed.
  3. Drive around the yard to the scrap metal pile and throw your metal off.
  4. Get back on the scale and get weighed again.
  5. Go to the cashier’s window and get paid.

The Test of Integrity

Today everything was normal here until we got to step #5.  That’s when they gave us $250 we shouldn’t have gotten.  When the lady behind the cashier’s window entered our “empty” weight, she entered it as “640” instead of “6440.”  With an initial weight of 6,660 pounds, it means she credited us with dropping off over 6,000 pounds of metal that we didn’t drop off.  We received $288 from the window when it should have been $34.

Scrap metal integrity ticket

My corrected scrap metal ticket, down $250 from what it was at first.

I could have driven off and no one would have known.  After all, it was there mistake, right?  But I knew, and I knew that God knew, and I had to make it right.  I contacted a supervisor before leaving the yard and showed him the mistake.  I gave him all the money back then received in return my $34.

The Joy I Felt

When I pulled out of the yard with the correct amount of cash in my hand, I knew I had passed the “test of integrity.”  It felt right.  I was happy.  What’s more, my credibility with the scrap metal people took an upward jump.

I was much happier knowing I had done the right thing than I would have been with the extra $250.  My integrity is worth more than that.  Today I was able to prove it.

Recycling is important to us at 1-800-Junk-Refund, particularly when it comes to scrap metal.  We love to use the boys at Montgomery Scrap on Southlawn Lane in Rockville to recycle our stuff.

Recycle These Scrap Metal Items:

  1. First of all, appliances like refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers and microwave ovens.

    Montgomery Scrap handles all our metal recycle needs.

    We love the folks at Montgomery Scrap. Here they unload a metal milling machine to be recycled. That’s just one example of how we recycle! Wire such as extension cords, stereo wires, television wires, computer wires and the like.

  2. Then metals like copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel.
  3. Also batteries from cars and other vehicles.
  4. Even old bicycles, exercise equipment, weight sets, lamps, gutters, nuts and bolts.
  5. Metal from cars, like brake shoes, rotors, radiators, wheel rims, and motors.
  6. Even cars themselves are recycled!
  7. Of course, regular metal items like garbage cans, barbecues, grates, weight sets, tools, electric tools, and finally light fixtures.
  8. Also, air conditioners, water heaters, humidifiers, and portable heaters get recycled.
  9. Most of all, call us with any questions you might have.  We give free estimates!

Those of you who live on a farm and may have old farming equipment should call us.  We use heavy equipment to haul off large hay balers, fence sections, tractors, plows, levelers, lawn mowers, and the like.

Call us if you have old cars (particularly the ones that someone thinks they are going to restore but never seem to get around to it) that are just taking up room in your driveway or backyard.  When in doubt, just call us to find out!

Please call us when you have any questions.  Our minimum charge to pick up is $95 with a pick-up truck full running $229 and the equivalent of four pick-up trucks running $595.  Just mention this post and get 10% off!
