    I pick up anything that makes me money! There are computer towers and monitors (flat/old style), fans, radios, dvd/vcrs, about 50 metal pots/pans, small kitchen appliances, vacuums, huge stereo system, 4tvs, metal chairs/table, decorative metal stands... you name it it's there. There are mountains of clothes and furniture that I of course won't touch but I hate to leave all that other stuff behind. Garbage guy is a friend of mine and he tagged the pile so unless someone else beats me back to it, it'll be there.

    Even if I took the big heavy bags with me, what do I do then? Sorry never dealt with roaches and don't want to either, but I do want that stuff.

    If you really want the stuff the "open" stuff should be ok. The problem will be the "closed" stuff (TV's.....). Wear gloves and if you want the "closed" make that a second load in a trailer. If you have access to a vacant lot let it set there for a few days (if you can) put a tarp over it and set off a fogger under it (make sure you keep the can away from anything flammable of you will burn the whole thing up)

    Hook up the trailer and grab only the items that you can take straight to the yard.
    If it wasn't for the $ in $crap, it would just be.....
