I watched a competitor throw away a lot of scrap today!

Anyway, as they begun to dump I hear metal clanging around. The friggin' morons dumped an ENTIRE load of metal at the landfill and PAID to dispose of it! A few things in the pile: romex, #2 insulated, copper tubing (I could have cried!) lawn mower, aluminum ladders, two appliances, a steel fire pit, a bike and a go kart with the motor.

Unfortunately the dump frowns upon scavenging or I would have completely refilled the truck I just emptied!

I have seen them do this on many occassions, but you know what, I just smile because that is why most people call me!

I actually took video. When I get my Mac back I'll post it. Working from my iPad at the moment.

You might send them the video and ask them if that's their company policy.

I just wanna know what I'd do to get them to drop off to me!!!

Actually, this is very good for me. Many of my customers are big on recycling. Of course they ALREADY like me better because I'm less expensive than these guys.
