    i cant pass up a dumpster.my wife hates it and will even hide her face while im digging.but when i find someones entire yard sell full of nicley bagged clean expensive womens bluejeans for her and her daughter she is like a kid at christmass going thru the bags.the best way i can explain it is that id feel like i was stealing off my self if i drove by a dumpster and didnt look. there could have been 200 dollars worth of metal in there and id never have known if i had not looked. anyhow back to topic at hand i have a hook on a garden hoe handle i use to inspect.i only get all in when it is required.needles are common here so i keep my eyes open.i have learned if i recycle anything for other than scrap it is washed at the laundry mat and disenfected and bug sprayed befor entering my home.ive never had bed bugs but i drag roaches in 2 times befor i learned my lesson.and believe me a free cool old end table will definatley become costly when you have to spend 50 dollars on bug bombs. ive never worried about diseases though i geuse rubber gloves and a dust mask would be as good idea.
