    Can you trust the hoard in-stink

    I think in some ways i have a sickness , I love clean and organization yet it will take me a life time to do . Now when a hoarder finds he can actually make money on his keep slakes , your a money making hoarder . I have watched TV and seen people with 200 cats 75 dogs and papers piled to the ceiling / When those hoarders decide to clean there act up, what do they have ? a intervention and a large dumpster if your real lucky a TV show spot .
    The scrap hoarder well you have money , I had been hoarding some of my TV boards for some time cause I felt they must have more value then mix .Some did make it to the mix load . But now that my yard admitted to me they will take the boards i sure am glad - I trusted the instinct of the hoard - Not mention the new found drive to find TVs
    The thing that gets me is why did it take 3 years for the yard to finally say yes we will take boards as CBM . I had been told in the past - to much plastic or garbage or we don't want them ?? In the last year or so has there been some new technology to pull out the copper, or did i have to prove a worthy customer to take the product ?

    It probably took awhile for them to see the value that sits on the boards. There's probably .50-.75 of value just out of the transformers, copper,and alum on there.
