Pickin day before garbage day. best times?

ive done some "field research" and found atleast for me the best time to look is:

after dinner (around 5 pm)

i ride my bike and just go around my subdivision a few times. i stopped driving because i get aobut 14mpg.

i have a milk crate set up on the back. haha i have carried everything from 19402 hassock fans, to camcorders to satellite dishes in there. i get some looks lol.

the only time i drive is if i see something big (industrial size micro last week) there isnt much chance that it will get taken as i am only about 5 minutes to the house and back.



because it gets dark around 8 now, thats about when i go in. it will get tough trying to balance 2 ap classes, track, and scrapping

Around 6 or 7 pm in the evening is sometimes good. Before dark.

I normally roll the truck out an hour or 2 before the garbage truck starts it's rounds in the morning.
