    It's more then I knew going in. It's all heavy as hell, I'll have to hit with the magnet when I go out later to get the wife from work. Part that kills me is there is likely more stuff in that dumpster, but I can't access the rest of it. Seems the guy doing the tub and tile work for the bathrooms, threw all the old tile, cut tile, and trash in there. I can't get in any further without making a huge mess an moving half the crap out of it. This dumpster is like one a yard would drop off, not a typical business one. Has a door and everything!


    Just way to much stuff to move without a small army to help me. I might poke around a bit more in it tomorrow during the daylight. Would there be anything in the relays worth taking them apart for, besides the small amounts of copper or brass?

    Thanks for the help!

    Keep it coming folks.

    Sirscrapalot - Will be taking it all apart tomorrow.
    Relays I sell as Copper Bearing But I still wonder if I might be selling items at low price



    Some times gotta dig . Thats Dumpster diving . If you have permission to be there for the time needed to push non metal side to side
    just go get it . Also, thats the help the contractors start to appreciate , gives them more room for garbage .
    The carting company probably wish it would stay but dumpster renter has last say on property .

    Pick a spot a non metal clearing in one area & put it there . I've been at some for 6 hrs
    when you leave with 1000 lbs or more thats ok pay for the time
    Once you get control of the dumpster visit each day .

    Ive had it so that the workers caught on to my punctuality that they just left it near dumpster for me as it saved them work also
    Thats called Dumpster Symbiosis
