Well this is turning out to be a bigger job than I anticipated. As I remove some, he adds some to the pile. With what I have hauled off so far and with what is left, I am looking at 300+ dishwashers. I took in a load of 24 washers in my flatbed that all had plastic bodies just to see what they would say, and they unloaded all of them with no problem since I did not take any of the good stuff off. I figure since I am taking in a lot of plastic, I can afford to leave the wiring harness, electric motors, ect on there. I will average about $150 for a load of 24 without having to process them, so I will get around a couple of grand just for what he has now, not counting what extra he throws on. I am kind of running into a bit of a problem though. I am picking up other stuff during the week, but it is so dark at night when I get home I cannot process them. Then my weekends are spent trying to get all the dishwashers off his property, and I have little time to process the others, so they are accumulating. Not complaining though, this is kind of a good problem to have. Once I have gotten most of the dishwashers off his property (I am storing them on my property for right now), then I can just start loading and taking about 3 loads in every Saturday to the scrap yard. Sure wish they were open more than half a day on Saturday, and wish they were open on Sunday, but it is what it is. I got a feeling that this may turn out to be a long term deal, so if you get a chance you may want to talk to a plumbing company. If they say they have someone already, then still give them a card and tell them if they have anything they need to get rid of and their regular person cannot take care of it, to give you a call. May get your foot in the door. I got this deal because one of his workers who scraps would rather deer hunt right now, and if I read the cards right, he may be losing out permanently. In addition to all these dishwashers I have gotten 8 water heaters, about 10 cast iron sinks, about 15 steel sinks, around 3 dozen faucets (can you say brass galore!!) and a couple of other little odds and ends. I do some cleaning up as I go, and he was very pleased about that as he never asked me to do it, I just did it on my own. I sure hate these short days, as I go to work when it is dark and do not get home until it is dark.
In case if anyone is wondering whether CL ads work or not, he got my name from CL, so hang in there. There have been times I did not get a single call for a couple of months, but lately I have gotten 2 - 3 per week.
