Bracing for Yard Closures Due to Metal Prices

NA:
It has already turned Curbco Bonanza.. Yesterday.. just driving from places I needed to go I picked up nearly a truckload.. 4 microwaves and other goodies. Then I went out for a bottle of milk last night and snagged a dishwasher.. normally these things wouldn't last 2 minutes on the curb.. but there they are.. and I'm thinking if I just take a trip on a Saturday and don't kill any of my billable time.. I'll make a little scratch.

About 2 days ago One of my favorite yards sent a text to me saying they have new hours. I believe they shaved an hour off their start time during the week and Saturday as well. So they save labor costs for "X" number of guys for 6 days a week. I can see the writing on the wall sadly!

Thanks! I'm hoping when I go out tonight I score big. I actually picked up scrap on my way HOME from work today!
