I discovered that I can not accumulate enough material to make it worth my
while to recycle. I dropped the rotors in my recycle bin long ago, the
people at the dump can either send them on or bury them. Either way, they
have been gone for a long time.

Silverton accepts all kind of metals at the transfer station. Put it to the
side with the rest of the big scrap, they load it into a container, and then
they truck it down to New Mexico somewhere. They may just dump it in the
landfill when it gets there, but we don't know that. Gives the tree huggers
a good feeling.

I just stack them in the garage. Every so often one of my friends
wants a new boat anchor. They also find a home in the garage for
weighing down plastic tarp.

I am saving my Jeep rotors. I have an idea for a floor lamp base.

Heh. you could weld in hollow bar into the lug holes then use them
to hold individual lights. Backwoods candelabra.

Or build a very heavy wind chime.
