    Talking First Trash scrap haul!

    I am so happy right now! I went for my first haul ever and within minutes found a vacuum some longgg pipe thing a foot massager(works, using it now) 4 metal sprinklers and a heavy azz lamp! All from one trash can! It may not be alot to you, but for me it's the jackpot!

    One man's crap is another man's scrap! And in Texas, there's ALOT of crap!

    Hmm, I like this kids attitude. Nice work ethics too. Congrats young man! Keep up the hard work and reap those benefits. Looks like you got a pretty good head on your shoulders there. Keep on using it and you do well in life. Thumbs up!

    This kind of work is good exercise so it can help you recover further . In time you will be astonished as to what you find, there are just good things out there . Funny thing i have found, is there is such a high chance most items work, Since they work you will find they seem to last as long as a brand new itemsScrapers make more then money they get many of there needed items free depending on how low you want to go that is. I found a bunch of Millers they were good .
