It was another good day yesterday. That job at the mall paid pretty well! I negotiated a 50/50 split of the metal plus a $0.40 a mile. Not too shabby IMO. Here's the haul.
They were pretty happy when I got back and forked over some cash (I was too!) and they said they may have more stuff tomorrow. Cha-ching! I may just give them some cash up front and then take the haul for myself, depends on what they're interested in.
After the mall job I picked up some junk around the mall, namely a beat up shopping cart and some aluminum. Then I decided to cruise through the UAlbany campus and check out what the college kids may have tossed since graduation was this past weekend. Holy crap, they throw EVERYTHING out! I got two futon frames, some metal shelving, pots and pans...AND A WHOLE FREAKING COMPUTER from a dumpster. Their waste, my gain! I'm at work right now and I left the PC at home (didn't want to leave it in the truck while I'm at work for obvious reasons) so I'll post a pic later. Here's yesterday's haul...
...minus the computer, which I am going to have fun breaking down. Haven't had a chance to scrap a computer yet and I'm looking forward to it!
Bonus: In order to get those futon frames, which were in a dumpster but nowhere near the top, I had to improvise. BEHOLD! The Scrapgrabber 3000!
Going with my tools for sure! I also have two because I needed another one to grab the original that I dropped in the dumpster. OOPS!
Anyway, tonight should be good to me again. Spring cleaning night in one section of the city!
Until next time...
