Teens attempt to sell grave marker at scrap yard

DANVILLE – Recyclers have seen it all lately when it comes to what is carried in just to pick up a few dollars. Police reports show wiring stripped from vacant buildings, air conditioners stolen right out of windows, manhole covers taken from city streets.

On Monday, volunteer Mike Mains made his usual trip to Bryant's Auto Parts and Recycling, 1406 Warrington Ave., Danville, to deliver aluminum cans. Mains is the primary caretaker for collecting cans from bins around the area. The money is designated for upkeep of the war monuments around Danville.
