Slim pickings, down to scrounging rebars

I've scrapped a few mattresses before but that's really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. I have these German Knipex wire cutters that go through stuff like that like it's Romax.

If you're doing recliners, go after office chairs too. You get the main cylinder and the the arm and back rests cough up three pcs. of #1 prep. Takes about 30 seconds to scrap one with a power screw driver. I think I find one of these in every roll off box.

My yard doesn't do prepared ferrous. But they take the chairs with all the extra non-metal stuff on them. (Of course I won't complain about free weight, if the yard doesn't say no to it.) I don't consider that cheating or stealing either. I don't try to hide it.

Same thing with vacuums too. They let you take in whole plastic vacs with your load...now an only vac load, no.
