       Actually yes. All the ones that I've seen are dripping with
moisture. Besides the fact that cases, garbage, newspaper and the like
holds moisture extremely well, they also spray the area with water to keep
down the dust that's stirred up by the heavy trucks and other
machinery. Everything so damp that I don't expect that steel and the
like would last very long there. I expect static would be the least of
the problems with anything gathered from a dump!
