Had my old gutters replaced and had the work team leave the scrap, also scraped a couple heavy metal desks and other random steel that had been adding up or broken, also lots of old garden fencing that was rusted and nasty and bent. As well as the household steel cans that I had been saving all winter and some other junk odds and ends.
not bad.
one truck load, 500lbs. at 8 cents a pound got me $40 this morning. Much preferred to all that junk!
It goes to show its worth hanging onto and not throwing it in the trash when it adds up like that.
now I just need to get some more copper and Aluminum to make it worth while to take that down there.
Its been getting harder to find.
I dont drink soda but I live on a busy street and Al cans blow in all the time. But lately they have been getting scarce. I dont know if people are drinking less soda, polluting less. or more foot traffic has been picking it up.
More than once i have lost some cans in front of my place due to Mexicans walking by and snatching them up. I guess they need em more than I do...too bad they dont grab up all the other junk that blows in, paper and plastic bags, fast food cups. news papers etc. its amazing what people lose out of there cars.
