Isn't $400/NT just $0.20/pound?

drove by a dumpster in someones lawn the other day. I estimate that there was 200-300 feet of aluminum gutter sitting on top.

I had the mini van, but is was full of stuff and the aluminum was covered with snow. I am going back out there again next week with an empty van. Hope it is still there. It is about 1.5 hours away.
