    Red face Howdy from Mid-Maryland!

    I've been a long timer lurker and I've learned quite a bit from here, so, thanks. I do this part-time, but I enjoy the freedom it provides, and I'm strongly considering making recycling my full time venture. I have a varied background as an electronics/computer technician, so, naturally, I'm drawn to most electronic gizmos. I live near Frederick, MD and primarily do this out of the bed of my pickup/off the porch. I travel for my day-job and usually work ~50/hrs week and then scrap in my "free" time.



    Anyone else from Frederick/Montgomery County MD on here?

    Howdy from Mid-Maryland!

    Thanks SirScrap. I am very mindful of the dangers of escaped cows. I currently have a dozen as neighbors across the street!

    "The carcass was hauled away by representatives of a company that recycles restaurant grease and animal byproducts."

    Huh, maybe we all should save up a gaylord of used grease and animal byproducts?

    LOL

    I saw that to in the article.

    Anyone know the scrap value on an escaped cow that's been shot by the police? Surely there is value in the beef an bullets!

    Sirscrapalot - Where's the beef? - the old lady from the wendy's commercial.

    These Chick fila cows had it coming . First they are hanging off water towers , then they are painting on walls with the paintbrushes . Please tell me someone saw the picture of the cow with the dirt bike kid gangs . That picture was hilarious .mimcould not find a link or I would have posted it . I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the bull stopping for photo op's.

    Welcome from South Dakota! A beef hide goes for about $40 around here at the local scrap yard. They also take kitchen grease, and tallow...whatever that is.
    Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.
