Questioned at the yard when dropping off Prepared Steel

While unloading some prepared steel I had a few cookie, popcorn and other metal tins (the kinds that have lids) full of screws and nails the guy asks if I had any soup or food cans in with the load. I tell him my food cans go in with the shred and I just use these as they have no paper wrapper, held dry food only and have a lid so I can keep the small sharp items together. I guess the buyer must got a load with a lot of food cans and was not happy! I did get $73 a net ton for the load, so better than a poke in the eye!

I was at the yard last month and some idiot was throwing full food cans in the shred pile. Needless to say, they made him put every can back on his truck.
