We used to do rehab work on two military bases. The waste was incredible. One building we worked on was the rec hall. At one time it had an Olympic size swimming pool. They installed a new boiler to heat the pool. They tested the new boiler before paying the contractor. Then they drained the pool and filled it in with Jeep engines, huge spools of copper wire, and pretty much anything you'd find on a military base.
