    When I was in the military and lived in an area that had regular garbage pick up, I went out every night scrapping. sometimes I got stuff that had resale value, I would ask people that I worked with if they were interested, if they were I would usually let them name a price that they were willing to give me for it, they knew where it came from and knew what I had in it, I knew what it would scrap for and always got more from selling it than if I were to scrap it. I even had people asking me to look out for certain things, usually stuff that I would maybe get $1 to $5 for if I scrapped them, some items had 0 scrap value and got real good money for by selling. If I had fridges and stoves that worked I would at least ask for last summers scrap price on them, you get better than current scrap and get to help someone out.
