Howdy all-
Just rented a cabin on a horse farm out in the country. Place is a mess with junk and scrap metal. Owner said I could clean the place up and "recycle" what I want, doesn't care, wants the "junk" gone. Going to scrap the hell out of the junk and make dump runs with the rest. There's two large old school aluminum satellite dishes with electronics and a huge pile of aluminum siding for starters.
One barn has a ton of old steel pipe with brass fittings. Is this called "red brass"? Keep separate?
There's a huge pile of pvc pipe too. Any scrap value in that?
In a pile of pipe behind the barn I found what I think is some sort of lightning rod, perhaps for something huge, like a power station. It's a solid rod of copper, 3/4" in diameter, 8 feet long, with a copper loop on the end. Weighs over 20 lbs. May have more value sold on craigslist or somewhere. Already filled a gallon bucket with bare copper wire I've picked up around the property.
