J.R.’S, along with Fantastic Sams, Buffalo Wild Wings, and the J.R.’S Advanced Recyclers Race Review Radio Show, put on a fundraiser for the St. Fancis Cancer Center.  The radio show was once again at Buffalo Wild Wings in Lakeville.  They had 6 chairs set up where Fantastic Sams of Lakeville was offering haircuts for $12.  A large portion of the proceeds went directly to the familys in need at the St. Francis Cancer Center.  We had a great turnout.  The J.R.’S Advanced Recyclers race car, and the Raceway Park Kwik Trip pace car were on display for the kids to sit in and play on.  Anyone who wore their J.R.’S Race Team shirt got their haircut paid for by the owner of J.R.’S, Terry Zeien.

Here are a few photos of the random stuff that comes into our facility.  Click on the photos for more detail.

Here are a few photos to get a general idea of what our facility is like.  There are some photos of one of the scrap piles with out big shear, our new mat

My name is Mike Larson, the sales manager at J.R.’S Advanced Recyclers.  I plan to use this blog to showcase what is new and interesting at our facility.  One of the things I would like to do, is periodically post pictures and descriptions of funny or interesting things that come through our recycling plant.  We receive appliances, electronics, tires, batteries, bulbs, cars, trucks, boats, forklifts, and any type of scrap metal imaginable.  You would be amazed at some of the random things that can be found in our scrap metal piles that come in almost every day.  Just two days ago we found an urn from a funeral.  It was dated April 2008.  I guess someone decided it had been siting on the mantel long enough, and decided to cash in on the brass scrap value form the urn!! 

Please stay tuned, as i start collecting and photographig some interesting things for all of you to see!
