All the above plus city beautification programs- a local govmink will give a property owner so many days to remove a junker or the city will 1) impose a hefty fine and 2) seize the vehicle and sell it for scrap and the locality gets the money. Or that's how it works here anyway. I think it's borderline illegal seizure of property but they have ways of doing it.

Whenever I go to the scrap yard I end up loading stuff into my work van haha. If I see someone throwing a pile of 6' lengths of angle iron or square stock out of their truck, ill trade weight for weight.
Some of the stuff people consider scrap amazes me.

10 cents for steel and 50 cents a pound for aluminum...we have literaly a pick truck every 5 minutes or so mostly mexicans driving up and down the neighborhood and this starts 3 days before the actual bulk pick up that we have 4 times a year...used to once a month. You shoyld see them removing insides of toilets breaking old tv's and ripping the boards out...anything with a cord is cut and thrown in the pick up truck. Its actually a problem most come from new haven and will even come up to you and ask if you have scrap

Scrap is how I been able to fund my Project, between the mechanics and the body shop. I am able to throw about 150 a month into it . Best part is the wife loves it cause it don't take away from "bill money " as she puts it
