I noticed in the bottom of a dumpster a broken wheel chair.
Are they worth scrapping?
It is at the bottom of an empty dumpster. Do you guys have any tips on getting it out? Do you just jump on in?

I'm thinking about the go cart I could of built if I were a kid again. One big wheel in the back and two small wheels to steer with. Whats wrong with kids now-a-days, I would of been on that like a hobo on a hotdog.
Got Laminated Lincolns? Give me a buzz.

Wheelchairs have many uses aside from hauling around some invalid. salvage it first and see what it looks like.

I've scrapped a few. I'm an old dumpster diver from way back, and would be all over that one. The ones I scrapped had aluminum and SS on them. Definitely worth doing.
