    Mexican restraunts

    So this weekend was getting boxes to pack house up. Next door to the liquor store is a Mexican restraunt. Noticed that the dumpster was almost full.
    Only thing in the dumpster was heavy cardboard and metal cans. Rough estimate is about 150 lbs of cans and 100 lbs of cardboard.
    Asked the manager if I could have them. No problem! Went back to liquor store and ask about their cardboard. No problem.
    I have not been scrapping cardboard, but I am now! Went to all of the liqour stores that I can find close. All of them throw away their cardboard. With the volume that some of these do I am looking at about 1-2 tons a month. Metal about a ton.

    Would not be doing this if it had not been for you guys. Thank you so much!

    Right now if I deliver $100 per ton, but keep in mind I can take about 3 tons per time.
