Geeeeees Gil.Nice haul bud.I wish we had more access to our landfills down here,but the county is so scared that someone will actually find something of value or sue them if they get hurt.This REALLY sucks but...a friend of mine comes over the other day and proceeds to tell me that his partner(whom owns a portable dumpster business)picked up one of his dumpsters out at nasa and inside was 3 trash cans full of these

My buddy grabbed a handfull just to ask me if there was any gold on them................after I finished choking him he told me "they are still at the landfill if you want to sneak in there and find them" :roll:
Kind of sickening isn't it?Somewhere in my landfill sits about $100k in gold.

I think if you relist this with the correct spelling it may sell.

Nice hit on the Cat parts Gil, I see that amp that came from the same source did well for you too.
Here in Spokaloo the only way to get anything cool is dumpster diving. We don't have a landfill anymore, here is a 'transfer station' and Hoooooo boy, even look like you are gonna carry 'weight' out with you and things get sticky (altho they can't see everything every time and I have gotten some interesting stuff)
Between your eye for cool stuff and your fabricating ability its no wonder you have so much great equipment in your collection :mrgreen:

Reminds me of the story I was told some years ago concerning e scrap from the early days been sent to landfill and I'm talking huge quantities before anyone realised it's value or cared because the margins were so good, apparently it's now got a housing estate over it!mic said:Geeeeees Gil.Nice haul bud.I wish we had more access to our landfills down here,but the county is so scared that someone will actually find something of value or sue them if they get hurt.This REALLY sucks but...a friend of mine comes over the other day and proceeds to tell me that his partner(whom owns a portable dumpster business)picked up one of his dumpsters out at nasa and inside was 3 trash cans full of these

Wow that would be cool to have your house built over a large landfill site, you could bore a hole into the ground then tap off all that free methane to heat the home and run a home foundry.
Maybe even compress the gas for fuel in your car, any natural gas set up would burn meth.
Just across the Port Mann bridge on the Westminster side of the river there's a large abandoned landfill site, they tapped into the gas and a factory nearby uses it to fire their boilers.
For years there was so much methane there would be a fog hanging in the air and the stink was unbearable, at first they bored holes into the ground and installed flares to burn off the gas, then the factory started using the gas.
A breif story on the recovery of methane from the nearby landfill.
Norseman has been collecting methane from the Port Mann landfill site in Surrey, BC, and delivering the gas to the nearby Georgia-Pacific wallboard plant, since 1994. At the wallboard plant the methane is mixed with the regular "pipeline" natural gas to heat the burners that cure the wallboard.
Environment Canada estimates that the original installation of the gas blending system at Georgia Pacific has created annual emission reductions in the order of 40,000 tonnes.
The ERCs traded today represent incremental reductions, and derive from new GEMCo-financed modifications to the wallboard plant burners.
This investment should increase annual emission reductions, through increased plant utilization of methane recovered from the landfill, to between 62,000 and 85,000 tonnes annually.

Ok heres one for you,At the bottom of this post will be a link to my landfill here.The methane is being reclaimed there,however they do not recover it to use it.Here is the interesting part......they sell it to Florida,Power and Light......well sort of.More like they force them to pay for it.
See here in florida if you provide energy back to the grid,the power compay pays you for it, THREE TIMES WHAT THEY CHARGE PER kw. !
So our local landfill uses electricty from fp&l at a set rate per kw,then sells the power they create (from burning the methane) back to fp&l for 3 times what they pay.And in the process of building that methane reclamation facility they managed to start 2 forest fires burning many acres trees.If you look in the picture of the plant you can still see the burnt tops of a lot of pine trees.
But thats just one of many things that local residents are in an uproar about.In the description of the metal pile they state that the metal is "picked up by a vendor" when in fact it is sold to a vendor(trademark metals).The tires are actually sold,to 2 different companies,one company extracts the burnable petroleum and sells it to the electric company,and one that makes colored mulch,and you can see it all of the place at the landfill.And as if thats not enough,they charge people who bring in more than 5 tires at a time,even though they sell them.Large amounts of water are reclaimed,leached then sold back to the city.The wood mulch is sold to the city and county,even though the county already owns the mulch,they list it as part of their needed funds every year.They use it on the sides of a lot of roads and medians.
Our county has consistently raised it's annual spending requirements every year at the landfill,despite the overwhelming added revenue it is bringing in.
There are a few good things about it though.You can dump almost anything you want for free,unless you are a large company,you can get all the free mulch you can handle,and in the haz-mat collection center,you can get lots of paint,paint stripper,oil,every cleaning product known to man,and a lot of times,muriatic,and nitric all for free.Pretty cool huh?Oh yeh I forgot,propane tanks too,and some of them are still full or partially full.
Getting back to the subject of PM's I know pretty much every employee out there,and I am trying to see if I can get permission to go on the "hill" and see if I can't locate those pins.How awesome would that be?!?!?!?!?!? Obviously I will let you guys know if I do,and I'll take plenty of pics for everyone to see.....
OHHHH one last quick note,there are TONS of bald eagles out there and they eat seagulls! It is the most awesome thing to watch.

Just curious. What was in the landfill that the images showed, and why were they deleted?

The picture was of some pins.And I deleted the pictures because I posted them in the incorrect manner and did not want to stir up any trouble.
