Got a couple heavy iron patio chairs and bucket full of landscape lighting wire this past week.

I didn't put a whole bunch of time into it, but this was a lean weekend. I saw very little at the curb.

4th of July weekend was a bust by me. Wat too hot I guess. 111 sat, 106 sun & 101 monday. Only found a BBQ grill and a screen door... Not good at all!

times must be tuff - havent seen metal being put out on the road with the trash after the 4th. im guesssing people are fixing their stuff rather than throwing away just to buy new. maybe more scrappers making the rounds also!!

Not much for me either, however I did get a nice ten speed bike that I will NOT be scrapping. :D :D

Saw an old table with a metal stand out on the curb by a house I pass by everyday on Sunday: the top of the table was unceremoniously dumped onto the pavement by Tuesday.

Exactly the same as the last two things that I have found. Grill and a heavy screen door.

If it were not for a friend of mine that saves me scrap stainless at the plant he manages, this whole last month would have been a bust.
