Furniture Dumps

Okay, So we've all seen the areas that people trash up by dumping not one single piece of good scrap metal,
just a whole bunch of mattresses, recliners, and crap like that,
I have a huge burn area built by now, And I've been thinking.. does anyone think it might would pay out to load up all this ragged furniture in dumps close to my house (So im not spending much on gas) onto a trailer and load all this into the burn pile until I get it completely filled, and then burn it and collect the shred?
Or would it simply be not worth the time?

If youve got the space, y not?

Get it all set up for a friday night kegger n have one helluva bon fire..(controlled, of course)..then the following morning collect the metal..

Ud be doing ur community a favor while making some cash from the steel..

"The April 18, 1999 Buffalo News reports the 90% of our upholstered furniture contains this polyurethane foam -- that is so dangerous that firefighters call it “solid "gasoline.”

"Moreover, when the foam burns, it releases a deadly combination of carbon monoxide and cyanide gasses."

Ive burned a couple old recliners and have never noticed this"solid gasoline"... Not like its really worth it to go around n collect ppls old furniture to burn but I Guess I will only burn IKEA furniture...lol

Good info though..thx toothless

Some municipalities don't have garbage collection and you burn it...

Most of what you want to burn is an easy strip for scrap. Mattresses, using a razor knife cut along 2 sides of the cord, fold back material and foam. Spings either lift out or may have a few strings holding in place.
Couch seats. Almost the same for mattresses except its a few screws holding in the springs.
With a manual screw driver, I can remove a hide-a-bed in under 5 min.

We recycle for money and to help save the planet, so why pollute it up with unnecessary gasses

old hide a bed couches are usually fairly heavy,dug a few of them out the ole burn pile
