    One of the yards I go to has a radiation detector. I've never seen that before but my experience is limited. They said they wouldn't take microwaves because they set off
    the detector. Has anyone else seen a radiation detector at a yard?

    That's strange. My yard uses a radiation detector on every load that goes across the scales and they take microwaves. I've brought em quite a few and its never been set off by them. This just goes to show the differences between the yards. But then, I also scrap out all the goodies of those microwaves first. Maybe I'm holding onto the parts that have the radiation? Man I hope I don't start glowin in the dark. lol
