recommendation for a contractor to take down and remove carport

[donotforsakeme.livejournal.com]

hi! looking for a recommendation for a small job - during one of the storms our carport (it's like an open-air porch for your car) collapsed and we just want it taken down and hauled away. It's some sort of scrap metal...aluminum probably.

It is metal. People will take it for free.

Post on craigslist saying "Free Metal Carport, it is falling down, a lot of metal. You must take it all away".

You'll get many people asking to take it from you for the value of the metal and won't have to pay a cent.

(When I had someone do this, they came and dug the metal posts out of the ground.)

"Free Metal Carport" would also make an excellent band name or album title.

Sometimes the scrap metal guys just want to pick up stuff, not spend time on it, so make sure you make it clear in your post that there is some disassembly required.

I have a guy who has come to my place in Somerville many times and he likes taking things apart. PM me if you want his info.
