QUESTION:I've called Boston home for a few years now, and have yet to discover
a treasure trove of surplus parts, scrap metal, and "industrial
junkyards". I've always been able to find at least one or two places
to go searching for cheap materials regardless of where I've lived,
but have yet to stumble across one here in MA.
Anyone in the Boston area (lets say within an hour or so) willing to
share their favorite places to search for parts, materials, scrap,
salvage on the cheap?
ANSWER: I stumbled across a pretty good place on Rt 16 on the way to the airport one
day. Its on the south side a few lights east of what used to be the rotary
at wellington circle. Its just before a sunoco station, kind of a funky
driveway on the left side of the building maybe with a forklift or two.
There's a sign. If you pass gold's gym, you've gone a little too far. I'm
not remembering the name but I believe its in everett around spring or vine
street. He has a 2 floor warehouse full of stuff; metalworking,
woodworking, some stock, old light fixtures etc. He generally knows what
things are worth but has a pile of stuff.
I read some of the other replies to your post and Eli's in Cambridge has
closed its retail shop, what remained of it anyway. I had been going there
since the early 70's in jr high school...
