Good afternoon, and thank you, thank you for sharing this forum. I've been reading posts for a bit now and decided it's time to introduce myself.
Unfortunately, I'm not a scrapper although my wife might argue that I have enough true junk to start a business....but that's a story for another day.
I'm that "safety guy." No, not the one that annoys the hell out of you, but the one who works hard to make certain that no one get hurt and that OSHA stays away. I'm the reasonable, efficient, effective safety guy - perhaps unlike the ones you have "had" to work with.
Anyway, I've read all of the threads regarding FIRE EXTINGUISHERS and the recycling of these. On occasion, I've helped a client to dispose of an accumulation of these and let me tell you, it is tough to find a salvage yard to take them.
So here's my question to the group:
Most of our clients require that anyone doing any type of hauling or pick-up on their premises have the full complement of insurance - general liability, workers comp, auto, etc. Are there many of you scrappers that could meet these requirements? And if so, how do I find someone when I need you?
And lastly, just to show I'm human and that I have bills to pay - if I have 200 or 300 hundred, or a thousand of various extinguishers, some full, some empty, none broken apart - what can I reasonably expect to get for these while still leaving enough meat on the bones to make it worth your while?
Your insight will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Mark
