People are Pigs
I was on my way from post office to fedex and decided to take a dirt back road since its beautiful now and right off the road in the woods somebody dumped this . I hit the brakes so hard. Its disgusting what people just think they can dump.

Thats found money in the road my friend!! It could set off a chain of events that in a month from now when you are on your yacht smoking a Cuban cigar, you'll say... "And its all because of that jack ass dumping a dishwasher in the road. Heh Heh Heh." Don't forget us when you make it big!!! Let us know about that chain of events too.

You turned someone's "Trash" Into "CA$H"
Doesn't get much better than that!
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

Already stripped it . The racks were in great shape . This dishwasher was full of ebay parts on top of scrap. Pretty good . Hopefully it will be a trend finding money on way to and from post office

Agreed, I walk the ditch in front of my house every spring, get a bag of cans and 2 bags of trash after every winter.. It is always someone else's problem to clean up after them. Sometimes leads to a windfall for us because people are inherently lazy, a hard worker (such as yourself) can cash in. And a big thank you for picking up after the slob, Good Job.

Why does it look like its siting on a grate? Is that the bottom of your trailer?

Looks like the ridges of the bed liner in the back of a Pick Up

I have an old Pendaliner for my 1987 Chevrolet. The ridges look just like that, so I'm going with bed liner.
I don't get it, either. We live on a farm, and the last owners did a lot of dumping. They left an old 1930 (or so) Chevrolet car in a ravine. It's sunken now, and will likely stay there forever. They left engine blocks, hoods, transmissions, and even farm equipment in the ravine.
I was disappointed when I found that stuff dumped there. When I loaded it on trailers and hauled it to the yard, I got happier.

Don't know where you're located matador but around here a lot of rural folks think they will need an item later, are going to do "something" with it, or they just didn't want to hassle getting rid of it. Remember, steel hasn't always been at the prices it has been recently. When I was a kid, general steel was $12-15 a ton (granted, $12-15 back 30-40 years ago had more purchasing power than $12-15 now). I've seen plenty of old vehicles pushed down into ravines on farms but usually stuff gets pushed back into "the trees" as most farms have a planted shelterbelt around here (very little natural forest in most of South Dakota). Ask Patriot76 how much stuff he's pulled out of "the trees"??
