    If you are looking for boxes, there are always a lot of folks giving them away on freecycle or craigslist. All sizes, too. If you feel guilty about it, maybe you should listen to your conscience. Why get greedy? I always had a policy to either take the whole thing or leave it for someone else.

    Besides, I gave up curb shopping because it seems like 9 times out of 10 I go through $10.00 in gas for $5.00 worth of scrap after breakdown.

    Sure there is plastic to deal with but why leave the motor behind? and there is other metal in the vacuum also.
