    People will always need washers, dryers, fridges, freezers, hot water tanks, etc. The problem I see is that whomever puts in the new one ( a company or the house owner) they know to scrap the metal for some cash...

    I have seen a brand new BMW (temp plates) unloading maybe 50 lbs at the scrap yard recently.
