I not surprised what people throws away any more after doing scrap metal pickups for ten years. Some very nice is just thrown out in those roadside trash piles.
Very true. I spotted a very nice old 70s Rover base on top of a metal recyclers bin at the back of a mower shop recently. It still had the 4 old style of chrome wheels in very good condition. These wheels are getting hard to find. I went in to the shop and asked about it. I would not have minded paying a small amount for it. Considering it was basically scrap, I thought the owner would let me have it for the same cost that he would get from the recyclers. Instead he wanted $70 for it. I drove past a couple weeks later and it was still there on top of the bin. Some people do not believe in giving stuff away, even when they are going to throw it away anyway! I'm not sure what the guy will get for this mower from the recyclers? I'm guessing probably no more than a few bucks?
