    That's a good haul. Do you have a buyer for the old tube TV's. I know they have some copper in them and some wire and a few transformers but not much. They won't take them here in Mesa Az for scrap. I watch the free ads on Craigslist and have certain places I frequent like where people from a near by trailer park dump their discards by a dumpster. Last time there I picked up a truck load of heavy aluminum window frames that sold for almost $60 an hour later. Here in Mesa Az you have to jump on ads within seconds of it being listed or you miss it. There is lots of competition here for scrap even with prices so low. Yesterday a guy listed an old Pepsi machine in the free ads section. It was close by so I went after it and got it. It took 3 of us to move it. It was old, full of spiders and could not be saved due to being gutted so I kept the door off it. Someone had taken the compressor and the copper out of it already. It has to weigh without the door at least 300 to 400 pounds. People around here watch very close. People driving around in the evenings and at night here get a visit from the Mesa police. I have been approached by them. They thought I was dumping illegally but they quickly realized I am loading up.
