Full circle with curb-co

If it wasn't for consumer culture, only the full-time scrappers doing called in pick ups and contract work would survive, I think, but just my .02."

Yes sir, you are absolutely correct! I can't save the world, but I can keep a few tons a month out of the landfill while putting some cash in my pocket.

Referring to Throwaways, my son bought me a new skilsaw (good brand) a few years ago and the switch went out after a year. Cost of the switch was $49 plus labor and I chose to just throw it in the iron pile and bought a used saw from a pawn shop for $25 and it's still working. That was probably 6 years ago.
