Need chip/waste storage for recycling
So I have managed to fill a 50L bin of chips. And I have a vacuum full of more chips.
Need ideas for long term storage so I can then transport the lot to scrap metal and get a few quid for it all.
Has to have locking top on it so the chips don't fly out of the thing.
Was thinking of going to B&Q and getting one of their big black storage tubs with handles and wheels.

Thoughts?

A bit of lateral thinking... You need a FORGE!

Unless you take a skip full then won't be worth the petrol. Most metal merchants won't take chips or if they do they give next nothing for them because by time they smelt them there's nothing left.

The local scrap guys picked up 4 x100l bins and a fairly heavy bag of offcuts from me on Friday and I got £21.

A great way to spend more in fuel than you can get for weighing in the resulting ingots!

Only if you cast something you want, not if you just use it as an exercise in lightening your wallet :D

Would not cost anything if we use food for fuel...

I'm actually Tee total at the moment but I do like an ice cold beer but I'm having a few months off whilst I'm playing with the machine. I realised beer doesn't mix with learning fusion 360, cam and linuxcnc lol. Since October last year I drank about 9 pints mostly over xmas in the pub with friends.
When I've actually managed to build what I'm planning I'll have a well deserved pint ;) If I can sell one I'll have 3 lol.
Re: Need chip/waste storage for recycling
Giving the amount of time that has passed since the initial post on this thread, I guess that you've managed to sort your situation out. You should separate waste materials into different types for storage, transport, and recycling. You should store your waste securely in sealed, labeled containers ready for recycling or disposal. Store waste in areas that can contain a leak or spill and are isolated from surface water drainage systems. You can use Toronto Bin Rental service if you're in Canada and you need to dispose of your waste.

Yeah, give us an update on that, please.
