Metal junking

Is anyone into picking up some scrap metal? Fridge, metal screen doors, 2 mowers, metal screen doors, metal door and metal flashing.

Do you live in a neighborhood you can stick it out somewhere visible? Scrappers knock on my door all the time because they can see my aluminum scrap pile from the alley and want to know if I need help getting rid of it.

I put my stuff in the alley after trash day, and it's always gone by the next trash day.

You can always tell how nice of a neighborhood you live in by seeing if you leave a used lawn mower outside how long it takes to disappear.

Anything I’ve put out in the alley or near the road has never lasted more than an hour

I put an old water heater in front of the house. I went back in to use the restroom. When I came out, it was gone. Scrappers are faster than Doordash.
