      It's for the tax write-off, as they can dump the extras and call it a 'loss'. It happens at all construction sites, especially as buying extras is often a pass-through cost to their client.

      Finally getting our fence and roofs (house, garage, and sheds) redone after the tornado came through Shawnee, OK back in April. Told the contractors we would keep all the metal so we could scrap it. They were happy to leave it so they didn't have to dispose of it. Guess they don't do scrap runs. Imagine how much money they would make scrapping all that metal! Oh well, at least we'll have more money in the bank!

      The dumpsters get tipped out in a yard,, all scrap gets taken out,.....dumpsters don't go straight to a landfill.....A lot of what we throw away now can be recycled and it is.......Sadly, a lot does go to landfills after being sorted.

    In order to make those bolts and for them to end up still boxed is amazing. The bolt started out as a design,then a machine part had to be made to make them from raw material, the machined, quality control,packaging, shipping(fuel wasted) received,stocked and then unceremoniously dumped!Not to mention all the employees payments! Extremely wasted ! Thank you Mike for saving them! Your the best!

      Back in the 70's I was a bolt maker and made mostly large bolts like those and they start out as a big roll of round steel and ends up as a finished bolt except for galvanizing, it was interesting how the machine worked but definitely some danger involved working with it.

      @@dianewilliams1125 definitely a waste by the company, curious as to what type of extruding your company did, on the machine I worked, extruding wasn't a separate process, it was accomplished in one of the dies that the battering ram hit, there were 4 dies that were hit every time with fingers that would move the bolt laterally to the next die and the final die would kick the bolt up and out to the dies that would make the threads.

      You're correct that everything can't be saved for being over ran but it certainly can be sold for something rather than thrown I to the trash.

I read that if you half fill a pop can with gasoline and then pour it on the ground, that is what you waste, if you don’t recycle that aluminum can. The metal of these bolts also need to be refined and manufactured before even creating that into a bolt.
