    Danged barbed wire

    Last week I got a job cleaning up an old farm in Charlotte, NC. A large portion of the first load was barbed wire fencing. It had been down for years and was so rusted you could break it with your hands. In the past I have had no problems with taking it to scrap yards.

    We went to the first yard and sat for a long time to get to the scale, then were told they would not take it. So we went to a second one that I have dealt with in the past. They wouldn't take it.



    I began to make phone calls. After calling all over town I found one yard that said no problems. SO we drove from north Charlotte to south Charlotte, only to be told they didn't take barbed wire.

    Finally I had enough and I drove to and hour away to where I knew they would take it. And they did.

    By the time we got the job done it had turned a 6 hour day into an 11 hour day.

    Has anyone else had problems with Barbed wire?
