    I drive a truck so I pick up everything I see. It drives my wife nuts when we are driving and I hit the brakes and exclaim, SHREDDER! I have about 10 garbage cans and as they fill up they go. It makes sorting and storing things easier. Hell I pulled over for about 20 lbs. of cable wire the other day. I can get load a week just doing my regular routine by stopping. Last night I liberated an aluminum can from the recycle bin and my neighbor said he'd save me his.
