    Lightbulb Cardboard Is The Same Price As #2 (Shred) Steel !!!

    This is strange, but in my area scrap cardboard sells for $0.03 per pound ... and shred steel goes for $0.03 per pound as well.

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
