The local metal recycler has gone through a facelift to help change their scrap yard image. Out front is this very impressive T-rex made from scrap metal parts.

This is a huge piece of art that draws in locals and tourists for a one of a kind photo.

It must have taken quite awhile to put this together!

Anyway, my reason for going was some yard clean-up.

I'm @edthecanadian and I recycle! Do you? All my photos are taken with a Samsung Galaxy S6.
Tomorow(if I remember)I'll show off a couple more things from this same business.

Quite the beast isn’t it!

Scrap metal recycling is lucrative in the US too. So much so that they implemented a license requirement (at least in my home town), because too many thieves were breaking into homes for AC units and/or ripping out copper wiring. Can you imagine ripping into someone's walls and costing them thousands of dollars just so you can earn maybe $50? Some people... upvoted and followed.

I've heard of this happening, also catalytic converters being cut off of vehicles in parking lots.

Yeah, that too. It's crazy how greedy and inconsiderate people can be.
