 You have to pay something for the equipment.. more than the scrappers. 
No... I mean I _can't_ get it out.  I would have to bid for *all* scrap from

 a plant the size of 22 football fields.  They are a
large company with a
large company mentality: all or nothing.  Rules are rules.  etc, etc. 
That's terrible. I have dealt with a lot of companies and scrappers and
haven't found a company as nasty as that yet. I guess you will have to take

They don't part this stuff out by lots, they bid out all the work to one
company (whose name I've never been able to learn or I'd just go right to
them).

  Companies do not care about
"rescuing"..... 
Very much true.
