I purchased around 300 pounds of lead from a local scrap yard years ago. It is mainly soft lead, but there is some harder stuff mixed in too. I hate smelting and just don't have the time to do it anymore.
My proposition: You pick it up (its on a pallet in a thick cardboard box), smelt it into ingots, and you can keep half of it. Then bring me the other half.
I am located in Edwardsville IL, but the lead is about 12 miles north of me (Bunker Hill, IL).
Lead can be loaded in a truck or on a trailer with a bobcat with pallet forks.
Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!
