So, of course my logic dictates that LARGE companies have LARGE disposal companies to take care of their waste on contract, which for the most part around here is waste management. But when I am at the tire and lube getting a tire plugged I notice there is a red unlabeled dumpster cocked at 30 degrees all by itself filled with banding, broken carts and a few wire shelving units that looked pretty good. I figure hey...who know that dumpster might not be contracted. Ask clerk, clerk calls management whom asks to speak to me, I tell him, hey you have wire shelving in your red dumpster out by the tire and lube lot that I could really use if you don't mind. He says heck no, we have to pay for the dumpster, take what you want.
Soooo...6 trips later, I took the entire contents of the dumpster, minus some mangled banding I didn't want to mess with. I kept the wire rack shelving and sent the rest to the yard. 4800lbs shred. I even clarified this with management who then asked what color and type my truck was and he said anytime I want something just stop and and let the lube clerk know. I suspect the company that dropped off the dumpster might get upset so I plan to only hit this in spurts and in the future I'll keep it to shelving if I can.
I may offer to drop a dump trailer here in exchange for a bill of lading if they are seriously going to put carts in it, the scrap yard gave me a weird look about the few carts I filled with brake rotors and junk car parts...Can't believe a big company like sadoff missed the metal from a company like walmart...
