This is great, and I can fill up my truck every night in these dunpsters. Anyone else do this?
    Sounds like you're killing it! I don’t do it myself, but a lot of people get into dumpster diving for scrap metal and big finds like that. 20 lbs of copper wire in one night is a jackpot! Keep it up, but watch out for any rules about dumpster diving in your area—some places can be strict about that.

    I would be careful diving in any paid for dumpsters. That can get you arrested for looting a construction area.
    Depends on titanium how hip replacements show up after cremation.
