    LOL. When I got into the scrap business in 1974 I specialized in appliances only. Scrap appliances in the 70s and 80s were bringing $55 per ton here and I hauled an average of 3 tons per day for over a decade. That works out to about 50 appliances every day for YEARS, in fact for over a decade. I suspect that I have seen just about everything when it comes to appliance scrap.



    The one time I really remember was some commercial dryers I picked up. Got something like ten of those monsters. Could only get 4 on my truck at a time. But when I dumped them off, money went flying everywhere. I sold them for like $25 each as scrap, but got something like $50 each in coins that no one ever took out of the coin bins in them.
