Utility company left about 30 ft of insulated cable on buys highway. Let it set for 4 days.
About 30 lbs of copper.
Right after that pulled into a store to get smokes.
Found a commercial grade (not in great condition) set of jumper cables the are about 20 ft long out laying next to their dumpster. Not sure how much copper yet but they are about the size of my index finger (each lead).
At work for free 3 burnt out 3/4 hp table top drill presses, 5 old vises (cast iron maybe about 100 - 150 lbs total), 2 old gear reducers, and a couple of burnt out 1hp motors (all for free).
All of this took less than 15 minutes to collect and all were free. I was driving home when I picked them up except for the stuff from work.
I know it is not the amount of stuff you guys get, but I am just learning to always look around. I think you guys know what I am trying to say.
