Our house has a lot of metal in it: the boiler, pipes and radiators, copper supply pipes, copper wire. There must be a couple tons at least.
Normally, when a house is demolished, it all goes into the landfill - wood, metal, glass, lead paint, and all. I want the metal to be recycled, just on general principle, and I found a removal firm that will do that. At first Newton said we couldn't do it without the demolition permit, but now they say it's OK, so we've scheduled that for Tuesday.
