I don't know about you, but when I have junk like a washer, I haul that sucker down to the scrap yard for cash.

Where it is scraped and mostly recycled.

Is re-use figured into your environmental calculations?



The appliance disposal fee in my locale has prompted the scrap yards to charge a fee, albeit slightly lower than the city fee. ;-(


Wild: When I moved last year I made .. well not a lot but a fair bit hauling my own junk to the scrap yard.

When it was time to scrap the computer equipment I would have profited from that, too, if not for the CRTs. Those I would have been better off throwing them into the landfill.
