Some people are too smart to do what we do.

All of my co-workers know I scrap and they birng me stuff all of the time. Many times I find things they left for me beside my car or in my cube. All they know is that I like to recycle to keep their electronics out of the landfill. I have explained in detail to a few what I do and they look at me like I'm crazy but they keep bringing me their scrap.
Our office is in a 6 story multi-tenant building and there is usually a large construction dumpster at the loading dock. I check it several times a day and have pulled a lot of good stuff out of it. Pride? Yes, I feel very proud when I pull a PC, microwave or 10 pounds of copper wire from the dumpster.
