Covert dumping issues

If it's copper, then it's definitely worth it, but I thought iron wasn't worth enough to bother transporting. I don't know where the scrap metal place is, but I bet there is one within 30 miles of me. So let's say you have a truck that gets 11 MPG. That's going to take roughly 6 gallons round trip, or roughly $20. So he'd need 111 pounds to break even. I guess that's not so hard. A broken water heater or two, and you're there. In fact, if I had a truck, I might join in. This guy loads his pickup each trash day.
