I know a buddy of mine knows a guy who just goes all over the place looking for aluminum, coper and ---- like that, and from what i hear he makes some good moneydoing that. That is hes primary source of income. This ---- realy makes me think. I was driving around few months ago and drove by some plase that installs new windown and i guess they take people's old widows after the job is done, because they had a big ole pile of aluminum window frames piled up behind their office building. I even thought i should take a trip over there an night with my pick up... LOL... naaw I ain't no theive, but i guess it would pay to keep your eye open for scrap ---- like that.
