...I scrapped in the Springs for many,many years with plenty of interactions with Police. All I ever got was a safety check, paperwork etc., however my old partner did 30 days in jail for "theft" diving a dumpster on private property (even though the owner did not want to press charges). If the container is on private property you must contact the owner and establish an agreement. If the container is on public ground just don't leave a mess. Lots of scrappers in the Springs these days, westside is good on Friday's, try Manitou as well and up the pass (Cascade,green mountain Falls). A partner is a very good idea for many reasons, try around the day labor places for an experienced helper..great place to find out about demo jobsites etc. I highly recommend selling to Colorado Industrial Recycling...don't worry about $5 at another yard, they value loyalty and will quickly upgrade you to preferred pricing. Be safe and Scrap on!!
