    Fruit stickers!

    I compost so when I remove my plastic fruit stickers I put them on my shred items. Lol.
    Better than the dump!

    Last winter, I was watching a documentary about shoplifters getting caught red-handed and some wise kids in Europe were swapping those fruit stickers to steal at the grocery store. They were taking a sticker from a cheap item (e.g. cucumber) and they stick it to a higher value item (e.g. watermelon). After that, they were using the self-service cash register to pay. They scanned the melon as usual, but paid for the price of a single cucumber.

    Also, fruit stickers are a great classic to decorate employee lockers and lunch boxes...
    NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).

    Good one. I think that I should get one too.

    By the way, Saturday, I saw someone picking up yard waste or dandelions in his front yard. He has a regular plastic kitchen bin with a license plate screwed on the lid. Weird.
