    Full circle with curb-co

    Collecting trash has me seeing whats really up.
    First it's amazing that in plain sight a scrapper can find so much.
    YET now I see what people put in trash bags . Obviously it's redundant
    old food packaging kitty litter SO ON .
    But day in - day out- people also toss lots of small appliances . Wire of all types . Pot and Pans . brass faucets . and metal in general .
    The weight , the bag solidity , the feel of items and sound are the cues to if it's got more then just food stuff . By the end of my day
    I have scrap - by the end of the week I have plenty to sort .
    I find TV's out and about .
    It's clear to me now, much of our natural resources are bagged up for the landfill . Curb-co scraping could never facilitate finding out whats in bags with out POLICE intervention
    BUT let me be clear there is another 40% curb scrap hidden from sight now I know cause I see it .
