Scrap yard help

[jrfount]

Does anyone have any advice on somewhere in the BR area where I can have a fiberglass boat and aluminum trailer disposed of? They must be able to issue a certificate of destruction for both items.

I once went to a scapyard off Airline Hwy in Baton Rouge past Academy Sports to sell a busted aluminum wheel. Try giving them a call.

Strike one for me.

Why not try selling it on craigslist for really cheap? You might make a few bucks out of it and get it out of your way.

Not my property, I've just been tasked with having it destroyed. That's why I have to have a verifiable certificate of destruction.

may want to check if I recall you can cut the serial plates and send in to the agencies for destruction.

Do a search, similar question asked not too long ago.
What is the purpose of a "certificate of destruction"?
Someone paranoid?
Why not destroy it, have some fun and make money all at the same time?
The aluminum is worth money in scrap value, sell the axle seperate if it is functional. Remove the VIN from the trailer and remove the hull ID frm the boat. Take a chainsaw to the hull, blast it, whatever and if you don't have a place to dispose of it, take the remains to the parish dump.
There are a couple of boats buried on my property along with a bronco and a couple of motorcycles, they make great erosion protection.

I couldn't and still can't find any reference to someone already asking if anyone knows of a scrap yard that will destroy a fiberglass hull and it's trailer as well as issue a certificate of destruction.

Like I said earlier this isn't my property, it is actually company property. The bosses need to be able to prove to corporate that we are actually destroying unrepairable items and not just listing them as beyond repair.

All though the Al is in fact worth some money it is worth less than the cost to have the hull destroyed soooo we turn in both items and offset or costs to a degree.

You will not find a scrap yard that will take a fiberglass boat. You can take it to a Landfill and get a reciept from them, maybe? Then take the trailer to a scrap yard and get a reciept. Or take it to me,( I'll use the axle's) and I'll give you a reciept that I destroyed it.

 

[edman87k5]

I will bust it all up, on video and write you a receipt saying I did so, wont cost you much.
The only place that will take a fiberglass hull is the dump, and they dont give anything other than a receipt for the $ you paid to dump there.

 

[edman87k5]

Since it is for company record, why not just sell the whole thing for $20 and let that receipt be your proof?

Different question and the answers don't seem to apply. I could go to a dozen scrap yards with a truck fiberglass hulls are a different matter. Thanks to all with legitimate advice.

Try the landfill on LA22 in Sorrento. They use to charge $20 a truck load of anything as long as it was not a hazard

I'll trade my galvanized trailer for the aluminum.
