I just happen to have this 32" torsion spring with a 2" i.d. left over
from
an obvious home repair. I placed it in the garbage, at first, but I
retrieved it--in case it may be valuable! ; )

You don't recycle where you live?


I recycle where I live, but I've never lived anywhere that the
recycling pickup/dropoff would take steel other than food cans.

I'm digging out a 6' steel pole ('70s style satellite dish post)
in the back yard, and I have no idea what I'll do with it when it
is out of the ground.

Where I live (Portland, or area), if it's legal (your pipe would be) and
fits in the bin it's good to go. If it can't fit in the bin you can take it
to the recycler or pay $35 for a pu load at the dump. Our dump won't take
fluorescent bulbs or paint; they have to go to a special central recycling
center.
