453,600 Pounds

That's 415 lbs every day for three years. Might be time to just scrap the smaller stuff like e-waste, aluminum, copper. Thats what I do and I'm 61 and have no plans on stopping.

Well I haven't a clue how much I have lifted over the last 30 years, but it has been a lot. Have I paid a price ( just turned 48)? absolutely.. both shoulders are very arthritic and left knee is on its way out. I am very healthy living (have been for years) however I do not think the human body can take decades of repetitive lifting w/o damage. All my partners over the years are tore up as well. I do not think it is as bad as the beating a drywaller or framer endures. I am very careful lifter so my back is great and no hernia issues. Pay lots of attention to what you are doing and have help for the heavy,heavy items. I saved like crazy so now I have a yard and can hire help. Daily pain is the price I have paid, on the other hand I never had to "eat crap" from Bosses or corporations, I got to live free. For me there was no other way...Scrap on, safely
