I was riding home earlier today and realized that it would be a great idea to look for any potentially valuable items that others threw out.
I was definitely hoping for some type of metal but it was already dark out the only thing i noticed was... Wood. I passed tons of older looking wooden objects but i know their value greatly varies, is it safe to assume most is cheap?
I ended up finding 2 vacuums and very nice padded chair. Not bad for free !

any wood that's real has potential, it's getting rarer by the day (just make sure it's not rotten or got bugs in it ; )

I started in scrap metal by curb shopping for furniture and antiques to resale, got tired of all of the metal going to the dump and started picking that up too.

I love garbage day, I find some really good pieces and also some nice scrap. BBQ grills, tools, various metals. Its good to know the days the garbage companies run in your area. I think its a treasure chest myself

It helps if it is trash day but I see stuff any day .Eyes are always open and yes there is always wood of some sort curbside.
