    Time for the Tacoma to earn a few bucks

    My day starts innocent with trash bags full of cans that cashed out at $47
    Then I found some items and figured - - - well I just made a $300 car payment
    Let's be careful use my experience and load,
    I put back seats down line area with card board
    loaded careful then plopped the tread mill over the Cans . A microwave went inside dish washer
    AC unit card board front seat - sold as is not in the mood to dismantle .
    Went to Haber Freight spent $4 on a tie down strap . This small load earned $26
    I found stuff at dumpsters and thats also how I got the card board .
    From the yard, I hit the Can man
    I started my day at 7:30 done by 12:30 = $75
    On the way back home picked up the heavy old AC unit that is a nice find .
    I keep a thick blanket to protect & This type I dismantle .
    Went out once more with Ranger and did more canning $51
    and found some scrap - all in all a good day.
    The rule of using this truck, all stuff is put on and removed from tailgate area only
    NO side fender loading or unloading . Will I use this truck for Cans 100% yes
    Use for scrap ? depends maybe Yes or No - safe type only
    Not done yet - I have more cans to sell tonight . Yes my trash job Nets me Can's !!!!

    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
