Thanks for all of the replies. I'll have to get to my desktop for the thanks.

It sounds like it is SOP for a lot of places. The thing is, if I were to break open a system, and say a neighbor called me in, that would be BIG $$$ and/or jail.

I can assure you they do not pull them off to the side, they get picked up and put into the crusher with all the other shred.

I guess for my conscience I'll get certified and save for some equipment. Too much money lost turning them in for shred. Although the last couple I got were load up and drop off, pretty easy money, pulling any wiring I can get to quickly.

This yard does not care about maximizing profits based on what I see in the shred pile. Last time I saw several pounds of brass coax connectors on the ground, and a whole spool of the aluminum armor cable. They frown upon pulling stuff out of the pile. C'est la vie!



I'll do my best and, like Mick said, run my business, and let them run theirs.
