    You find them by banging on doors and handing out cards.

    mdg lol, oldude you hit it right on the head and ill add that the easist stuff to pick up requires some blood sweat and tears meaning that you have to process it thats what the guys dont have the time for i get it from. also small time businesses are who to target, big corporations have recycling processes already in place

    I don't wanna say anything bad about services out there, but IMHO Servicemagic.com is a bunch of CROOKS! Other than that I have no strong opinions.

    I moved it to Off Topic for that reason - it looks like he's asking about hauling freight.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
