It's clean up day on monday by me and you would not believe how many people are driving around scrapping. Way more than normal.

Stainless steel bbq grill was the best so far, other items several vaccume cleaners, alum chairs, alum bbq grill but you need to be in the right place at the right time as stuff is being picked up fast! I think most metal item are gome with in an hour!

What can you get out of vacuum cleaners? Motor and copper wire?

Yep hobo with the economy being bad and people loosing their jobs right and left along with the prices of metel going up there tends to be more people than ever scrapping these days. I set out a dryer on the curbside a couple of week's ago because i had nothing else to take to scrap with it and figured I'd give someone a few extra dollars for the week and before I walked back in the house a guy stopped by and ask if he could have it. Helped him load it and while he was driving off, three more people stopped that had circled the block wanting the thing too.

So far on the renovation job I'm on, the owner has let me have all the wire we had ripped out except for the main ground wire. Got a bunch of old faucet bodies out of an outside closet, about 15lbs worth.
Got Laminated Lincolns? Give me a buzz.
