The "junkyard" on the side of my garage got a bit overwhelming so I dropped off an 8' bed of junk recently for $120. A V8 crankshaft, a car door, years of old nuts/bolts, control arms, mufflers, etc. It makes sense to wait until you have too much 😉. </div>

In hindsight, it also makes sense to weigh the cost (pun intended) of a possible flat tire in the scrap yard, injury from the guy next to you blindly throwing junk into the pile, a rusty cut on your hand, and the lung damage from the terrible air quality.</div>
