    Who are the people that you meet while scrapping?

    Cord Cutter Guy or Gal (Take cords and that’s it.)
    Aluminium Can Man or Woman (Cans only)
    Shredder Guy or Gal (Everything goes in with the steel.)
    Non Ferris Guy or Gal (No steel with this guy only the good stuff!)
    Re use, Re sell, Re Purpose Guy or Gal (No scrap yard for him or her!)
    Scrapper (Take it all, break it down for the most money!)

    Who did I forget for this list?

    reminds me of a guy used to "train" at a gym that i used to go to
    he was a skinny runt but he had advice for everyone

    anything that anyone did, we were all apparently doing it wrong & he knew how to do it right but somehow he never seemed to apply his advice to himself.

    we called him the Iron Guru

    Regardless of which category they fall in, the ones I hate are the people who "rummage" through trash, opening every box and bag, making a mess, and giving everyone else a bad name. I call them "raccoons" because after they go through a neighborhood it looks like several attacked your trash.

    It has gotten so bad in some of the neighborhoods near me that many homeowners won't put out trash till the morning because of it.

    The "I will wait to break down everything until I get to the scale" scrapper. I got stuck behind one at the non-ferrous scale the other day. She was having a yard employee break down radiator fans in her truck. Shaking my head...

    Yeah gotta watch out for that poisonous gas. Glad he told us to be careful and well protected while doing this. I noticed he had his chainsaw chap shorts and his metatarsal flip flops on.
