Here are a few odd statistics that I've been able to come up with from my past experiences of scrapping:

-Most of the appliances that I find being tossed out are NOT found on the day before garbage pickup, I find them randomly on someone's curb just passing through the neighborhood.
-I have found more fridges than I have found any other appliance, all combined.
-I have yet to find a hot water heater.
-I have yet to find a furnace or boiler.
-Only ONCE did I find anything OTHER than a fridge on the day before pickup...it was a washer.

If I had to estimate the amount of large appliances found, both on the night before pickup and also on a random day, here's what I would come up with.

(garbage night, any other day)
Fridges: 7, 4
Ovens: 0, 3
Washers: 1, 2
Hot water tanks: 0, 0
Furnace/boiler: 0,0
Dryer: 0, 3


Any reason why there are so many fridges..? Something that breaks more often? I'm assuming that I find more appliances on off days because people put them out when they get replaced, and since there are minimal scrappers out on off days, I am more likely to come across them. Can anyone make sense of this? Haha


Thanks
