    The curb hunt is fine
    But dumpsters are key . Developing trust in the towns is very important when dumpster diving
    you just have to have this attitude Like I Own It !! I'm here in the dumpster . say hello to people as they walk by .
    Ask permission first and if anyone does ask Yes I have permission thats my story and stick to it .
    NEVER go into to a metal only dumpster.

    I take it you don't have a truck .
    The big items you need a truck or trailer
    keep in mind 1000 2000 pounds of different metals delvers good money
    so you don't need some kick ass trailer or even a big car to pull a ton .

    Focus on the metals Like - aluminum - copper - brass - motors - Lead - short steel .
    most any car can pull a good days pay with high pay metals .



    With some luck $100 per week .
    but I'd say the sky's the limit

    If you have 100,000 pounds there is a customer out there ,
    it's completely up to you how big you want to go .
    Prices seem to be going lower on the pay out so you should be seeing
    less competition ,
    Fuel cost is down so it's all good .
