Post a load

Three inputs: what it looks like, roughly what is in it, and how far it has to go. The exchange works out whether you are selling scrap or buying a cleared site.

1 · Photograph the pile

Photos come first because the person posting is usually standing on a site holding a phone, not sitting at a desk. Everything below can be corrected later; the pictures are what let a yard bid at all.

2 · What is in the pile

Rough is fine. These figures never settle anything — the certified weight taken at the scale does.

3 · How far to the nearest yard
14 mi

Freight runs 10–30% of delivered scrap cost, and on light material it can exceed the metal value outright. Drag the distance and watch the listing change from a sale into a removal job.

This load costs more to move than the metal is worth. Posting it as a removal job is not a failure — it is the honest listing, and it is the one haulers will actually bid on.

Demonstration only — this button does not submit.
