    Be careful of lawnmowers and bikes in the summer. Homeowners may leave the mower inadvertently near the garbage. Sometime they run out of gas or go to get a lawn bag a drink or whatever. Be careful of bikes because kids sometimes lay their bikes down near the curb and run off. As stated: if in doubt, go ask. Asking is polite and it also is a convienant excuse to hand out a business card.

    Before you do any of this; I would seriously consider getting the proper vehicle. Its a long slow climb if you are going to try and haul 10 pounds in a 1 pound bag. If you are truly stuck with what you have for hauling consider looking for certain items. Stick to high yielding items that take up little space. Car batteries, wire, car rotors.
