Hi sir, I would like to reccommend you keep the plastic tubs of any dishwashers you find. As a small hobbyist scrapper, I would utilize about five of these in a row. The first one is shred, the second tub is for unprocessed small appliances, electronics, fixtures etc.. it was for the stuff I need to tear apart. Second tub was aluminum cast, then sheet aluminum, last tub for wire. I then use milk crates for heavy items, like motors, lead batteries, ballasts and transformers. Its not exactly easy to lift a dishwasher full of motors into the truck for a haul.
The yard is not as bad as it look honestly, I have actually cleaned up much worse when renters leave a house. If you are in a large enough municipality, a custom bike shop will pay you better than scrap for an aluminum/alloy bike frame. My eight year old bike has finally been through enough and needs replacing. The frame is still great though for anybody who builds bikes. So I am stripping it down to the frame and seeing what I get for that.
Dishwasher tubs are a great sturdy storage option, especially for lighter density items like aluminum. I use one for shred simply for the fact that with all the air space in between it usually is still manageable for lifting into the truck, as long as I use my dolly.
I don't scrap full time like I was because now I have a full time job. But I still pickup
escrap when I see it, and the occasional tube tv I will bust out my drill and strip it out in under a minute.
