    1956 I see your point, I try and stay away from appliances with Freon. I am not paying taxes or have any employees, but it is only a hobby I do not make enough money to open up a business, I am not that efficient. I do not scrap on a daily basis.

    I have a lot of stuff in my yard. The county inspector called today and I talked to her a little she is coming out on Friday. She stated that I had solid waste which turned out to be wood, tree rounds and split wood. I informed her that I heat my house with wood and have two fireplaces. She thought that I had a huge pile of broken concrete, I informed her that they were rocks from the property in a pile. The steel that I leave around my yard is stuff that I think is too good to recycle and should be reused like chain-link fence iron fence panels usable sheet metal. Any other metal goes into the dump trailer, unless it is an appliance which I break down for the copper and brass. It is not just metal the inspector commented on no outside storage. I am not really clear on what she wants so I will get a better idea on Friday. Looks like a lot of passion on this topic. I do not know the percentage of home scrappers and business scrappers, I assume there is a lot of home scrappers. thanks David
