Machine shop turnings — free to take, recurring
Mid-South Machine & Tool · Southaven, MS · 4 photos
Steel turnings from CNC work, accumulating at roughly 12,000 lbs a month. Oily and low value, and the disposal cost has historically eaten the entire recovery. Offering free to whoever will keep the hoppers cycling on a standing schedule. Container must be lined — the state stormwater permit is ours and we intend to keep it.

Weights are the generator's estimate at posting. They carry no settlement weight — only a certified reading does.
Bundling both sides into one all-in quote would force every yard to also solve trucking — the exact capability small yards lack. Splitting the bid lets a yard that cannot dispatch a truck still compete on price.
