Every time i set some thing on the curb it is completely picked over. Old bicycles with a small trailer loaded with cans, wires or anything else. I use save some for the regulars who come by, but it's skinny pickings. It would cost more to drive the htree miles to the recycling yard than the stuff is worth. Beggars on every busy corner, lineups to sell plasma. this whole country is just liek the opening of "A Tale of Twp Cities."
