A bank closed down a few months ago around here, the space has been rented and the construction crew started gutting the building yesterday. I passed by in the middle of them throwing metal in a dumpster, asked them about it an ended up being able to get everything! I hauled all the metal from the dumpster last night(mostly ceiling studs), am today picked up 2 box truck loads of more metal(one load was 1,650 lbs of drywall studs alone! Plus a $20 alumium door, $10 piece of brass, tons of BX, 50% wire, some stainless and little bit of sheet aluminum), for a combined total of 5,930 of light iron not counting the non ferrous! I still have more non ferrous to cash in tomorrow and more metal to pick up on Monday. 2nd load was 4 steel doors, every light fixture from the ceiling, drywall studs, air ducts and vent covers, electrical conduit pipe, deposit boxes, a small water heater, and some other random junk plus 2 safes that took the whole construction crew to remove(with great difficulty) and load into the truck, and had to be unloaded at the yard with a forklift. They went as light iron cause the yard manager said they had some concrete in the walls but the top and bottom were solid iron. Couldn't have done the drywall studs from yesterday without my cousins help and I'll be giving him a cut when I see him next week.
