My husband came home one day with a boot load of metal stuff. A bunch of computer casing, patch panels, racks and such. These are leftovers from a company who recently did a major upgrade to their IT department. It’s not the first time my husband collects scrap metal. Or rubbish as my mother-in-law calls it. My husband say these are freebies or bonus from his line of work. I do wish he’d take it straight to the recyclers instead of stacking them at our backyard which is unsightly and takes up space.

But never undestimate how much these scrap metal could fetch on the market nowadays. Prices are a few times higher than what they were a few years ago. That makes the sight of scrap metal heap at my backyard more or less bearable I guess.
