    Sounds like a sweet haul.

    Is the door solid alum, or alum skin over a wood core?

But hey I got some good weight of steel and that dor is SOLID aluminum i just need to knock out this glass on one of them and break of a roller. Now im just hoping the thursdaynight trash that is in a bigger area will trump this one.... gonna try to empty my truck tomorrow.

    Amazing isn't it? People might as well open their wallet and throw money in the trash. But hey, it works out better for us scrappers when folks don't know any better!

    EXACTLY! I have a FULL 5 gallon bucket of stripped #1 copper now and a bunch of random junk wires, Along with the aluminum I found I guessing roughly 100 dollars for an hour drive and 3 hours stripping wires. I honestly cannot believe all that they thew out.

    The bucket of #1 sold for 45 and another 15 for junk wire, and 16 for the aluminum and another 15 for the light load of junk I had.
