My suggestion would be to NOT to put your exact location on this site. Many of us have to store our "valuable" scrap outdoors. If by chance another scrapper from your area joins the site that does not have GREAT ETHICS it could end up costing you.
The scrap yard I use the most just extended their final non ferrous yard ( meaning an area they keep their prepped non ferrous items ready for shipment) by another 6'. People were climbing a 10' fence and stealing their non ferrous and taking it to other yards to sell.
I am in no way trying to put a black eye on scrappers as "most" are hard working folks trying to make a living, but you know as well as I do there are thiefs among us !! If you diagree with this statement just listen to how much stuff was stolen when copper sky rocketed, we had power wires, construction sites, roof top ac units, etc....stolen around here.
I would aslo recommend that you be careful when posting pics to the site. For example, I was going to use a different avatar but it would be a dead give away to who I was and where I was located.
This is only my opinion on this but I know of several scrappers in my area that I would not want them to know where I live or how my scrap is stored. Am I paranoid? probably ! But I don't know who is going to join this site or for that matter just find it by accident and stop in and read.
Again, this is just how I feel, just something for you to think about !!
