The city of Green Bay has a dump somewhere, i've never gone to it. But, the little suburb I live in, has a dump cite by the city garage...4 areas, 2 for garbage, one for metal, one for freon, with proper tag from the city. I scavenge there all the time, hell i've picked up furniture that I have in my house. The area is frequented by scrappers, so the metal area is usually empty. I went by one time over summer and there was a guy unloading some drywall from a truck, and a scrapper pulling door knobs and other assorted things. I started looking around to see what I could find, and overheard the scrapper telling the other guy "Yeah, they really don't like people coming here taking stuff. They scrap all the metal themselves." I'm thinking he was full of ****, I've gone there in the middle of the day, and the workers just nod at you, or act like you're not even there. I was there early one time (640 AM, not supposed to come by until 700) and one of the office workers drove in and asked what I was doing. I said scavanging. He said if i wanted to dig more I had to leave for 20 minutes, so I didn't piss off any of the people who lived in the area by making noise. I obliged. The place is covered with cameras, and i've never had the cops show up at my house...so i can't be breaking the law that bad.
