Garbage reward-Part 2

only in Texas....

Best garbage deal I ever had going was at work.  The company next door was the IT support building for a large supermarket chain.  For about three years, periodically pallets of computers and monitors would show up next to the shared garbage bins.  I asked about them and was told they were fair game, so I made several thousand extra dollars from ebay and garage sales during that time period.  Because they were free to me, I marked them to sell quickly and always had pocket cash!

Was clearing out my basement, took a hatchback loaded with crap computer parts to the dump, circa early P4, and maybe S939. Came back with a Q6600 with 4gb ram, Radeon 3650 and a 1tb hdd. Replaced three capacitors on the motherboard, good as new computer.

DillonFoulds:
That's kind of creepy that you would pull hard drives and snoop on your neighbors. Do you peek in their windows (punny), as well?

geomartin:
Yeah, I don't know why, but they quit putting things out after a while.  Could be they hired a recycling company to come get the stuff, or started selling it themselves.
