Default recycling, booring

im sure some of you recycle everything
I recycle alot of things except for plastic, paper and glass

my neighbor has white boxes in her kitchen over beside the fridge
one box for each category. paper, plastic and aluminum

I collect metals and recycle them, been doing it for a few weeks
im actually making good money doing it

today I turned in 2040 lbs of old radiators, the large cast type that
you heat a house with
there was 9 of them, 8 of them weighed about 260 lbs each. whew!

we get $4 per 100 lbs

right now, I have 2 old claw foot tubs on my trailer, I was going to
scrap them but a friend drove by and said they are in big demand...

but dang! it takes so much money to make them attractive
like.. an $800.00 moen faucet, another 40.00 in traps and brass
then another 300 to have them sandblasted and enameled/glazed?
anyway, Im not going that route, I don't have the storage

I think these tubs weigh about 250 - 270 lbs ea

what a hoot! Im scraping them! and going to breakfast on the money
haaaaaaaaa hahahah

back to everyday practical recycling
how do you feel about an in home incenerator

wouldn't it be nice to open a little door throw something in and poof!
up in smoke!

I guarantee it would cause alot of cut backs at the local hospitols as
burning stuff before it gets funky (like old raw chicken foam trays)
that sort of thing

more people are sick from 2 things.. 1. not drinking enough water 2.
not washing their hands

THE WORLD IS SICK FROM NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER AND NOT WASHING THEIR
DAMN HANDS

so... it is important (climbing on my soapbox) it is important to wash
your nasty hands, don't leave nasty old cans laying in the kitchen
trash for days.. that's how sickness starts
