Just a PSA. If you have a bunch of scrap metal from a home renovation or heat pump installs, Schnitzer Steel in Rock Bay will take it and pay you money. Steel is free to drop off, so don't pay at other recycling centers.

I take professional issue with the claims of this group given my doctoral research in carbon management. It's disingenuous to claim reductions in emissions when energy use is increasing and all added capacity. That and natural gas is still a fossil fuel and climate forcing. More in my comment below.
