recycling drums
The recycling places in my area want the tops of the drums taken off and they will take the empty steel drums. What is the best way to do this? Do you have to use a air chisel?

that is one of the quickest ways cut the top, and bottom off and flatten the drum. You can fit more in the back of your truck that way. You can also invest in a Drum Crusher. |
