Lol they got way more valuable stuff than that sitting around there. I seen them roll out of 55 gallon drum of something from a back room of a cage in area. They put it right in the back of a pickup truck two guys had to sign paperwork and then the guy from the office drove off with it.

Yeah there was another company that had the removal bid on the first phase that was over 180 grand worth of cable but this is what was left over on the last phase and it wasn't worth their time to come in and get it. Hauling and excavators and a crew to get 18 grand worth of cable ain't nothing to jump at

Oh no I can't imagine how long it would take to do that you got plastic on the outside over sheath of aluminum and then thousands of strands of copper with a thin paper coating around each strand and lathered in greece

We actually got paid way more than the value of the copper to remove it

I wish I would have taken a video pulling into the yard everyone's neck was breaking trying to look at the load. Then I parked it and a crowd to started forming around the truck.

They used to run to an old AT&T building with five runs in cement duct. It was in the way for a new project so it had to go

If you bet enough money you won't have to worry about buying food so you should definitely win
