    The Curb and the bag

    The curb hunt is fairly dignified to me cause all I am doing is taking whats in plain sight .
    As I have always known people purposely leave out for others as many people have a feeling
    - - waste not want not. --

    Now if the curb hunter wants to cause issues . Looking in people trash bags will
    cause discontentment that people will call police ,
    Yes !! you will be out of the curb scrap business .

    So I mention the Bag only to satisfy curiosity . I have the trash job
    and when days allow I can open and look before the final load to trash truck .
    I have to say what people toss to the bag is PLENTY .
    Wire - Tools - More Wire ,- motors - copper brass - toasters - vacs - microwaves - Did I say wire
    people will often wrap in a separate bag & then put in main trash bag
    I can tell by weight and sound what bags have the good stuff .
    Any bag can deliver as even a nasty food only has wire from cells phone chargers or a extension cord . Trash is trash
    and now I know what is in trash -
    Plenty of $$
    also Cans from food - cans from drinks
    People are wasteful and thats the story.


    Please read this post for either
    curious and now I know the wonder of the bag.
    or a way to capitalize on a fact. ( legally )
    But Please DON"T curb hunt and start bag hunting .
