It is interesting just how much "recycling" is going on these days. I am in the middle of a renovation and at least a dozen people a day go through my trash. I put a pile of nasty mixed aluminum, steel and wood with nails in it on the curb and it was gone in 41 minutes. I told them take it all or leave it, they took it all. Today I had a guy going through old wood and roofing material to find about 4 feet of Romex.
