    Why shred them for $2.00 (assuming you're getting .10 per pound for shred and the average tower weighs 15-20 pounds) when you can break them down and make $8-$10 or more by selling to a buyer on here, or finding someone local? 50 towers at 20 pounds per = 1000 pounds or around $100 for shred. 50 x $8 per is $400. I'll take the latter any day of the week.....

    So, I still say offer $1 per box. You can part them out, or when you get tired, you can sell them for shred.
