What do you do with your table sludge? I cleaned out my table and was surprised at how much crud there was, must use it more than I realize.
The dropouts are easy to grab and recycle, what do you do with the wet heavies?

Re: table sludge disposal
I shovel it into an empty 55 gallon drum and then take it to the scrap yard with my other scrap. They dump the drum out and I'm on my way.

Re: table sludge disposal
I dry mine out (water table) and then my metal recycler takes it.

Re: table sludge disposal

Here In Florida you take a long weekend on the boat and by the time you get back the table usually is bone dry!

Re: table sludge disposal
I was on the scrap run today, 3 ton of skeletons, asked about sludge and they won't take it anymore here, need to find another outlet myself for it now!

Re: table sludge disposal
The first time I emptied the table, I used 5 gallon buckets. The scrap yard gave me crap but took it anyway. They also managed to break every bucket i had which cost more than they paid me for the scrap steel.
Now I look on Craigslist for a free dead refrigerator or freezer and lay it on the trailer. I drill a few holes in the liner and fill it up. Most of the water drains out rather quickly and I don't want the freezer back so we're all good. But they still give me a hard time over the steel dust. If they decided to not pay me for it, I really wouldn't mind because i just want it gone.

Re: table sludge disposal
Take a barrel and drill some smaller holes on the bottom and let it drain outside.
