Here we go again, all of the junkers will be out this weekend. Last year I paid my $5.00 and had a mounding pile by the curb over the weekend. By noon on Monday, when the city truck came by, I didn't have $1.00 worth of stuff left for the city to take.
It's simply amazing what some people will stop for/pick up. I guess the old saying is true = 'One man's trash is another man's treasure'. I don't mean good stuff either, i'm an ex-junker / pack-rat so if i'm throwing it out, it's gotta be bad.
Some of the junkers were 'High Tech' too - they had handheld spotlights driving by shining it on the piles to see if it was worth stopping for (after dark). It's almost worth the $5.00 to see just what all some people will take - but then i'm easily entertained I guess.
Is it like this everywhere - or just in Missouri?
