Default Lead or gold for ballast anyone???

Let the Record show that Richard J Kinch on or

Oops, by "them" I mean the used lead wheel balancing weights, not the
tires.


Accckk! I'm appalled at two levels. One the Ecologist in me
doesn't like the idea of lead getting into the "refuse stream", and
two, the Scot in me doesn't like to see something 'useful' just tossed
away.
Maybe you can make them an offer to haul the lead away, "cheap".
Or free of charge. And avoid having the EPA descend upon them in all
their Righteous Environmentalism fervor.
