    Finding scrap free (except fuel) has a truth . But that truth differs from location to location and wile at times competition is there eventually many fade away .
    still the hunter type - HAS to have an auto that gets great MPG - mini vans - 4 cylinder pick ups - ECO cars with trailers are the only consistent auto to go out and dry hunt .
    The amount I could find with $10 & my old Chevy venture . surpassed my dodge pick up , and yet what I can load in my pickup is better for many items .
    So now I hunt to the yard and back I hunt during my daily travels . Garbage day has to be considered along with trip to yard . It's not easy to hunt this way as you generally have a mess in truck,
    the yard people get annoyed at the disorganization as you shuffle the yard stuff from the keeper for another day stuff.



    USA is huge , some towns have plenty , some just don't .
    I am not convinced that being able to find $300 to $400 weekly from curb trash will ever last ,
    The end (slow down) will occur it's just not logical that this could just keep continuing . For now I do & when it's done I know I had a good run .
