    I do what the job is worth. I'm in Florida so we don't have basements down here. Second stories...I'm not lugging a couple hundred pounds up or down stairs for scrap prices. I also stay away from light weight big bulky items...they take up to much room in your truck or trailer and you get nothing $$ wise for them. I will load the light weight stuff like metal tables and stuff on at the end for filler but that's after I have a truck load.

    Surprised to hear that there aren't basements in Florida. I would think that any state which can have tornados would be a good place to build a basement.

    High water table! They would just be "basement pools"
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    For me it has to be outside or in garage. I won't go in homes due to liability. With that said I did help my uncle recently get a boiler out. I helped disassemble, then him, myself and another carried the pieces out.
