hack it up and sell it as scrap – very lucrative, or maybe they have a ranch and need some fencing…
We live in a aluminum-rich state.
Why don’t these folks go recover all of the aluminum soda and alcohol containers on our Arizona highways.
All of our Arizona Veterans highways that are rich in aluminum, metal deposits and other valuable items.
Just imagine the impact we could make in our highways if ADOT and the residents of Arizona aggressively worked to restore the beauty to “America and Arizona the Beautiful”.
The added benefit is exercise.
