[ausev] CMC Metal Recycling

[Chris Robison]

Oh, I forgot to mention one important point about their new metal sales
... They will only sell their new steel in units of one stick (20 feet) or
a half stick (10 feet).   If you need 22 feet, you'll be buying 30.
They'll make cuts for you, but the cuts are done sloppily with a cutting
torch.

Scrap/recycled metal  (steel, aluminum, stainless, copper, etc)  are sold
by the pound. They have vehicle scales so you can weigh a truckload, or
you can just weigh the piece(s) you're buying. If you're looking for
scrap, bring a hard hat, or they'll let you borrow one.
