Scrapping several trailers on one property. Need Advice! (With Pics)

If the trailers had power to them, there should be some big, buried power cables if you want to be really efficient about it. I cut some aluminum cables before and It was probably 10-15 pounds.

Does that mean the steel in the trailers would pay more? Do I have to exclude the axles because of the grease in the hubs? I think it wouldn't be worth it for me to save all of it up and take it at once, separately. By the time I get down to the frame I'm ready to get a full load of whatever I have going.

Most of my labor is tied up in filling, hauling and unloading my trailer at that burn pile. If I can get the foundation to approve the cost of a debris box and set it at the demo site, things would go faster and cleaner. At least I tried.

The power lines come from above and need to remain for future use, but I like where your heads at. Keep the ideas coming. You guys are really helping me out in the forum. I've learned a lot from everyone here.
