    Hobo...they won't take those pressure items even if they are cut in two pieces? and why no chain link, some of those are aluminum.
    Joe bob...ask if they take oil tanks that are cut. I know here there was a sign at the yard that the EPA said they HAVE to accept them whole and not cut open....

    I think they will take the tanks if cut I know they have taken fire extinguishers that I have removed the top. As for the chain link they say that the place they send the steel to the shreader dose not like it!

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
