Sob's & crt's

if ppl dump stuff
and if theres something in it for you-its not so bad

compared to them picking all the goodies clean & dumping totally useless scrap in your dumpsters.

Yes it's always better if your going to throw a dog a bone, that you leave a little "meat" on that bone. No I don't like illegal dumping in any form, why - well it's illegal. Here in California, it's illegal to dispose of your trash on private or public property without consent or permission. E-waste is not supposed to go in normal trash, certainly not supposed to dump hazardous waste (TV, monitors, CRT's, batteries, florescent light bulbs, oil and many more items).

Let me put it in simple math terms. Just for explanation and demonstration, we have man #1 and man #2, both equal in every way except:
Man #1 is a customer and pays to be on your property and allowed to dispose of his trash. He pays you $2 and cost you $.50, we made $1.50, thank you #1.
Man #2 is not a customer, but an uninvited "guest", that comes onto your property in he middle of the night, he pays you nothing and cost you $.50, we loose $.50, don't get caught #2!

Scraping is not how I earn my living, it helps me control cost for myself and my customers. I like doing it and I thank the members of SMF as you have taught me almost everything I know about scraping.
