How do you deal with metal debris on a rural or acreage property?
Short answer: Walk the property to find and map the debris, photograph it for insurance, deal first with anything that is dangerous to livestock or machinery, such as wire and sheet metal in paddocks, collect it into piles by type, and arrange a collection from a buyer who has a truck, because rural properties often have large quantities of fencing, roofing and sheds that are expensive to move yourself.

A walk or drone-free survey identifies where the debris is and how much there is.
Protect stock and machinery
Loose wire and sheet are a hazard to animals and tyres, so clear paddocks first.
Use a truck
A buyer with a truck can collect more than you can move in a ute.
