Hit the nail right on the head with this one... I myself wouldn't spend a day just driving around hoping to find some things, I would do it on the way to dumpsters, regular pickups, and other connections. But yes this is great! Also something to add- don't make a mess by people's trash cans, and don't smash things up in there driveway example: I have seen someone at 6;45 am smashing the brass off of a sink in someone's driveway, and not even cleaning it up!!!!!! Don't make noise, and if you do CLEAN UP YOUR MESS
