How to make $150 per day?

nope and just a heads up. the yard will not feel "guilty" dropping your entire load of aluminum if you put a piece of irony in the load on accident. maybe they will tell you maybe not. but hey, atleast you didn't put that plastic in the shred pile.

When I look at the guys dumping of refrigerators I know I have less fluff than that. Every yard I've sold to has never had a problem with my loads and most have a guy looking over the load before I dump.

I normally don't have more that a couple of desk top printers per pickup truck load. If I have several printers I normally knock off some of the plastic covers and throw them in the recycle bin at home.

In the past I have completely broken down printers, there are several motors and usually at least one good board. Sometimes I just need to clean up the yard. Mike

I know what you are saying and I've also seen the refrigerators, with all their foam insulation, in the shred pile and I've seen the guy who oversees it watch people throw out all sorts of stuff that contain less metal than garbage and he doesn't say anything so I guess I shouldn't let it bother me. I know you guys would freak if you saw the way I break down my stuff but right now I just have way more time than money so I break stuff down as far as possible (sometimes going as far as cutting all the aluminum into lengths that will fit nicely into my bins rather than leave them stick out.) I just pulled a rug shampooer out of the dumpster today and that bugger is much heavier than any vacuum I've dealt with. I'll tear it down tomorrow.
