Hi everyone

Hi all. Ive been scrapping a little bit here an there for a few years but have been getting into it more lately in my off time. One of the schools ive been re doing gave me a bunch of old metal exterior doors to get rid of. I guess my question is other tha. The glass and hardware is there anything else i should know about removing before taking to my local yard. Someone mentioned they may have asbestos in them.

Google.

many old fire doors built in the 60's, 70's, 80's and possibly some in the 90's contain asbestos.

Thanks. I dont think my yard will take them of thats the case. Unless its for lack of a better word "removed". I had an old wood stove they wouldnt take for that reason. Any tips for getting it out?

He mentioned EXTERIOR doors, not FIRE doors. Not a expert, but I don't think that they would contain asbestos. Asbestos is hazardous when particles are in suspension in the air. I would drill a hole in the doors to check what's inside (insulation?) without risking to displace the possible asbestos contents. That way, you'll know what's to do next.

About the glass and the hardware, it should not really matter to most of the yards as long the doors are mostly made of metal.

Well i took in 4 of those doors and the frames alonf with some old conduit and managed to get a whole 29 bucks lol. All of our yards around are pretty shiesty

I'd be deliourous with 29 bucks. I've taken in loads for 5 dollars.
