Had a good haul? (Lets hear about it and see some pics!)

I dunno if this has been done before, if it has sorry. Pretty much if you had a good haul today take a pic and tell us any goodies you have. ^_^
This is form sunday night

monday morning after i dropped off the first load

last but not least, tonight's haul as of 2 a.m i'll go back out with the trailer in an hour or so

also picked this up monday morning, a HUGE king poster bed, with 4 large cast iron pillars or steel, not suree but theyre heavy as ****, took me and 2 other guys to lift each one. should be a good payday

found this with a sign on it in the trash that says "works great adopt me" I think im gonna hook it up in my workshop. lol

Lol i saw a tv with almost that same sign on it last night around here. another time i wish i had a truck

I picked up 2 of those the other night and the guy had another one but it would not fit, 60 inch. But I am not sure if it is worth the drive again to go and get it. It is about about 100 miles round trip. I also picked up two tube tv's.

Great hauls badewolf....thanks for posting.

Yeah, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights from 3-4 in the afternoon till around midnight to 2am I do neighborhood trash nights. Friday, sat are great days to hit up craigslist, the flea market, garage sales and ESPECIALLY, probably the biggest scores for more than scrap value items come from dumpsters around apartments. I check all the apartments within a 30 mile radius at least once a week. Problem is lately there are so many noobies out that its making it difficult, I was out tonight and counted 11 other scrap trucks on my route. The good thing is, I know the areas. I know every backstreet, and i can get ahead of them easily when I see them. As my general rule, a per-determined, weekly schedule always pays off in the long run as opposed to the spastic movements other scrappers make.

If they work or can be fixed easily they resale on craigslist for each hundred dollar bill for each one. at least thats what i can get down here.

1st trip around 12:45 pm. Bed frame with iron head and foot boards, a Tv with cord, Ironing board. Floresent light fixtue, metal pole

are the crts worth it? i usually cut the cord and leave them.

put an ad up on kijiji, (the canadian equivilant of craigslist) for in-town deliverys for $15. someone called me in the morning, to pick up a cabinet. while driving that to his house, i got another call, to deliver a new stove. while un strapping the stove in the guys driveway, i get another call, this time for scrap, i got a large fridge, a mini fridge, a filing cabinet and a microwave. $50.50.

$80 minus gas, not bad for getting paid to drive around and listen to music
