Can't see how to make circuit boards viable - show me the light or I give.

Another way to look at it- often times I pick up something from nearby businesses and load up my car before bringing the load home to put in my backyard. Then, when it is time to go to the scrap yard I load the car again only to unload it at the scrap yard. That is four separate times that I handle the same stuff. And in case someone asks the logical question "Why don't you go directly to the scrap yard?" Well, I like to have certain minimum amounts of items before going to the scrap yard. Also, I often pick things up late at night when the scrap yard is closed and don't want to leave everything just sitting in my vehicle as I don't have a garage to park in.

Yep moving stuff 4 times sucks especially steel as you said, get item load it up. Bring it home unload it. Then break it down and reload it and then unload it again for the last time at the scrap yard!
