In the mid 90's while still in high school, I worked a summer job doing landscaping. To make a long story short, we landscaped the home of the person who tore down Forbes Field in the early 70's. My boss at the time knew that I was a baseball fan and told me that he knew of the landfill where thousands of Forbes Field seats were (and still are). Well, one Saturday he took me there and I put as many pieces/seats/scraps into my car as I could, and built 4 seats from them. I sold 2 and still have 2 today. I'll post pics when I can. From what I remember, there were still hundreds (if not thousands) of old Forbes Field seats in this landfill....
