Why do people give their scrap away?

He's hungrier than I am. The wear & tear on my truck makes it at best break even unless I'm already going that way.

Even scrappers give scrap away.

(rest assured those water heaters don't have copper pipe or brass relief vales when I call my guy )

That Satog S650G tractor that I had went on a free ad then a week later a Kubota rototiller.

Next on the has to go list a 95 Dodge Dakota 4x4 after I pull the engine and transmission then cut the cat off.

So yea even scrappers give away stuff they have no desire to deal with.



I could borrow the crane truck and haul this myself but one small truck with a three hour round trip to Jack would not even pay for the fuel.
