    whats it worth??

    So this is very general.....and most likely hard to answer....but me and a buddy I scrap with found what seems to be a goldmine.......you know the huge industrial dumpsters?? Well, we found one...that is filled with old water heaters......I'd say about thirty of them.....and w'eve gotten connections in this area before,and apparently they have been sitting there for a year or more, my question is, what about would the value be on 30 water heaters?? Oddly enough with all the scrapping I've done I've never dealt with one before.

    On a water heater, snag the brass fittings if there is any, the gas valve, the rest would be shred. (crap steel pile)

    You won't get rich but I like them. Easy to load with with tractor forks and add up fast.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
