    A time gone

    Since I have been reading the new bylaws for home owners concerning White appliances Metal TVs ETC I see for me a huge change in the land, in all the communities I have roamed the streets. During the time of hunting I could read the whole picture , The hunters found so much & I never could equal them for bulk ,but what always seemed left to me were TV’s and the little annoying things but you know it was Copper Brass AL (I also found plenty of steel).If scrapers are predators well I bothered no body we all got along and shared .One guy I used to buy a few things out of his truck cause he admitted all he goes for is weight so I pick up copper items from him . I had a bottle collecting couple that put aside TVs for me. The change is here and it’s far from over for the common curb picker, the few that hang on will get picked off with laws . The yards won’t loose any money as they still get the product but now from the state. Actually the yards will enjoy getting the product in a few trips from a town truck compared to 300 curb scrapers. Also the state won’t separate so finally the yard will also get AL CU Short Brass / for tin price
    I've only been at it for 3 yrs , If a newbie starts in my town they wont have the amt of product that I had to learn with I figure I took apart 2000 TV’s 500 microwaves & MORE - - This has been like school for the last 3yrs .
    I bet we have people from the state who read our posts - many of us have been our own worst enemy & the fact that I even write this post is a victory flag for the state ,
    they hit me hard . I have learned one door shuts another door opens
