    <span style="font-size:13px;">scrapping metals from chemtrails/cigarette smoke/toxic

    can it be done. I know for a fact chemtrails have massive amounts of barium and aluminum. and then there is cigarette smoke, full of radio active metals. I have been saving cigarette butts for the past year and i am working on a process to make ingots!

    i have been pretty good, thanks for asking it makes me feel welcome to be back!

    this last year i have been gone, i killed some time by getting locked up in various institutions and then when the price of scrap metal fell, i adapted by losing my drivers license and now i scrap on foot with several backpacks. i basically operate like an ant in the dead of night, and so far i have seen good results but now i am trying to venture into the obscure metals like barium and the radioactive isotopes.

    if you guys know of any carcinogen buyers, let me know. Haha, just kidding!

    I can't think of any buyers. Of course, for airborne smoke, you'd have to find a way to get that high.

    It may work in Colorado.

    I always wondered what happened to you, welcome back. In reguards to your questions I would think a system of micro-micron filters to catch the smoke so it leaves deposits on the material however to the best of my knowledge the only thing left behind from smoke is tar(but might be able to get material out of that). I was also under the impression the filters were some kind of plastic/paper composite material. I could see if you had whole cigs to break down the wad that's in front of the filter. Would be an interesting source of scraping but then again at one point the same was said about scrapping electronics.

    Try going through a 10 item or less line with a 12 pack of beer and a carton of eggs. When the cashier rings you up thank her for allowing you to use her line even though you were over the limit by 14...


    Sirscrapalot - I may or may not do things like the above for real..but only me an the cashiers I interact with will ever know.

    Might have to break the ingrediants down first - wouldn't even know where to start with toothpaste. Don't know of many yards that take either items outright - most pharmacies(especially here in NY) make it mandatory to return unused meds to the pharmacy so they can be recycled back into circulation.

    Dopen- It's been a year? Good to hear your back and out kicking the can down the road again. Take care of yourself! Those institutions are no good (one flew over the cuckoo's nest) nothing good there! You make me think tremendously!



    Aluminum cans are the preferred can of choice for a true scrapper, best value for time spent. Dry flat asphalt pavement is much easier than other road surfaces. This is especially true if you have never kicked many cans down the road. Don't forget, if your kicking cans, when done kicking it, pick it up and put it in your scrap bucket. When bucket is full take to scrap yard and get paid for all the "Road Work" you have done.



    Dirt & gravel roads not recommended for can kicking down the road activities, unless you have access to water & soap daily. Dirty road can kicking, tends to cause participants to get very dirty, this "dirty look" is not good. People that don't participate in can kicking will not understand the "dirty look", you will look dirty to them. This is normal reaction by those that don't kick cans, they just don't know any better. You as a active and practicing can kicker are "In the know" and they are not aware of all that you have accomplished (remember they may not be up to speed yet!).


    Can of choice, lets face it, just a better looking can. A can made out of aluminum has a better scrap value. When your thru kicking it, pick it up and take it home with you, place it in the aluminum can bucket, fill that bucket. When bucket is full, sell it, later on buy a six pack of your favorite beverage (Aluminum can packaged beverages best option). A aluminum can kicker is a responsible "can kicker", they are environmentalist and ecologically responsible members of society. Aluminum = $0.30 to $0.50 per pound, better for the planet and you will look better kicking it too!



    These type of cans are OK if that's what you have, do the best with what you have, we all start somewhere. Work hard, do your "road work", practice the "kick" as much as possible. Steel can kicking is not as popular as it used to be, the pioneer can kickers, kicked them as that was all they had. Be careful, make sure to clean cut the lid off, a jagged and rusty steel can, CAN cause health problems. Very important to properly dispose of these cans when your done kicking them down the road. Don't be a bad can kicker, pickup your cans when your done kicking, help keep our roads clean. A steel can is recyclable, put it with your other scrap steel, has little value, but it is heavier than other cans, so the weight of many steel cans adds up fast.


    There's nothing wrong with kicking the cans down the many roads life presents us, pursue your can kicking possibilities, take all the roads you CAN kick, go forward and kick those cans, just kick and keep on kicking it!
