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.

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!!

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.
