Since moving to Florida getting junk removal jobs is slim pickings, which I believe is for two reasons: 1.) Curbside pickup takes ANYTHING here that you can get to the curb, and 2.) There are no basements here! Thank god my business in Michigan is going well!

As an experiment I was trash-picking the other night and scored three appliances, several vacuums, some aluminum and copper, some tv's I haven't decided if I want to break down, a couple of microwaves, a gas grill, and miscellaneous assorted metal items. I was stunned by how much was available, got a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff.

I am quickly getting over my perceived stigma of being a junk picker, but getting the wife over it is another story. :-)

Is this a profitable thing to you by you, or did I hit a lucky fluke?



I'll be going out again soon.
