    Cool Man! I love spring cleaning!

    I of course mean when other people do it! In the last 24 hrs I've found about 30' of bx wire, 100 lbs in car shocks/brakes, a monitor (22" samsung, I think I might keep), computer tower, TV/DVD combo, stereo, vacuum and miscellaneous little bits of metal. Already turned half of it in on my lunch for $35!

    Me to! loving this year season already lol. Ive been passing out buisness cards, and advertising on facebook. I cleared 180.00 dollars today, and had already made my gas money (20.00) back by selling a Weber bbq grill to a friend. Had a little brass/copper/aluminum also , but most money came from steel. I had 1640 pounds in the back of my short bed Dodge. Still have more to take in piled at the house.

    Just got a call this evening to do a hot tub, 4 TVs, 3 computers, washer/dryer and misc other things in a pile outside a shed that the dumpster is going to arrive Monday. They found out that dumpster is by weight hauled rather than flat rate filled. I am all excited because I am pretty sure I can't get all of it in back of my Nissan before Monday by myself but I get to breakdown on site and all the non metal goes to the dumpster.

    I can't wait to see what people put out their curbs this month...yay spring cleaning!

    I want some vacuums. I like trying to fix those things. And I need to mess with more computer towers. All I've been finding lately is broken kids' electronic toys.

    Around here you find at least 1 every week and most of the time it is just a broken belt

    No, they are paying me to fill the dumpster that they ordered and are paying for, plus giving me any useable scrap metal.
