The radical clear cut through our utility jungle made me feel really good – maybe because of the radical and liberating nature of the work. The clear cut left us with a big and very heavy pile of truncated pipes and fittings, now merely reminiscent of the formerly impressive utility jungle.

As part of the overall construction waste management (CWM), all cast iron, ferrous and nonferrous piping, as well as wiring was separated and is destined for the scrap yard.

We repurposed our pickup truck for the day to haul the ferrous (and not so ferrous) harvest to the scrap yard for its final milling?

A nice side benefit of this ferrous management work: It generated enough income to pay for two tanks of gas for the truck.
