    Can you make good money picking up scrap on the side of the road??

    Three times now i have found aluminum extension ladders on the side of the highway while heading home from work. just in the last 2 months. They have been crushed and run over. i ran over the last one.

    There are much better ways to make money with scrap. There is absolutely nothing wrong with picking up scrap on the side of a rode (just be safe). I like to walk my dogs in the mornings and I always pickup the trash people throw along the highway and roads. In my free time (rare) I ride my bike, do the same, pickup what others toss out their window and onto the side of the rode. One thing for sure, you will get some exercise and see things you won't see driving a vehicle, mostly a lot of trash (some scrap too), that doesn't belong on the side of our roads!
