I second what ATP said, it can be a blessing in disguise. Sell the
container and its contents to scrappers, you will probably get
$140/ton. Same applies to the dead forklift.

Oh, and I will be taking two dead GMC TopKick dump trucks to a scrap
yard tomorrow. One has 10,000 miles and another, has 15,000 miles. But
both were salter trucks and are hopelessly rusted. The engine was
working on one of them.

I was able to barter a lot of scrap metal for clean up labor and got a
pretty good price for two vehicles. Now I have some space in my yard.



A lot of scrappers, are equipped with machinery and experience to deal
with junk and scrap efficiently, and cleaning up your place is no big
deal to them.

I recently bought two junk forklifts for $100 (for both), and one was
not even junk.
