Fanatic

I hate throwing away windshield wipers.

Mostly because they're cumbersome in the trash, but also because they'll sit around in a landfill longer then I'll be alive.

Knowing that my landfill takes mixed metal for recycling, I decided to break it down and see what was left.

The top pile is all the metal I busted out of it. The bottom pile is all the rubber and plastic. Though the bottom pile will go on living long after I'm gone, the top pile will get recycled as something else.

You also learn the quality of your wiper brands when you try to break them down. The cheaper ones have more plastic and come apart easily. The better quality brands have more metal and are a pain to get apart.

Either way I win.
