It NEVER hurts to ask! Years ago I could get a buck for every cart that I brought back. 1) they made more than a buck the first time it went back through the line full. 2)At the cost of labor, a buck to have someone they trust go through the neighborhood and return them IS CHEAPER than a paid employee out looking. 3) At the cost of replacement, a buck is cheaper than paying for another one to end up 10 blocks away, anyway. 4) talk to a owner/manager and see if they have, or would like, somebody like you to provide that service, and, (I am working on this with a large store now) if they would like the broken shelves, carts, etc removed AT NO COST TO THEM. And if so, ask that they provide you a letter, on company letterhead, to provide to the yard. (and keep a copy in the truck)
What works for one, may NOT work for another. But if you NEVER ask, when you have an idea like that, it will always...NEVER work!! my 2 BroJer
