    I'm glad they took it and that you let them take it so that it was handled properly- that's how I am too Swampy!
    Stinks they now want you to PAY them to take it.. No Bueno!

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Oh it's worse than that - I should have elaborated: that yard doesn't take it at all. I have to take it to our county recycling center, and there is no separate collection for it there, it goes into a dumpster with all kinds of other trash. I truly hate that, but at the moment, it's my only alternative. I'm trying to locate someone who can take it (even free) and then try to work out a cost effective plan to get it to them (at my volume, it's certainly not worthwhile for anyone to come collect it). Anyway, much like the CRT discussions we've had on SMF, I've got to think there's a solution that includes small scale recyclers like me ... but in the interim, it sickens me to think of what's already underground, dumped in the oceans, etc.
