Yesterday's haul was very light. You have to expect ups and downs.
I don't know if others beat me to the routes or if nobody was just tossing any good scrap. I did find two houses with a decent amount of scrap - and I picked up a very nice Huffy bicycle which I couldn't bare to scrap.
The tires were flat, but I figured if I could patch the tubes, I might be able to get $20 out of it o n Craigslist. I washed the bike, and took the front wheel off to assess the amount of work I would have to put into it, and behold there was no tube. That accounts for the flat tire. The rubber on the tire itself was in pretty rough shape, upon a closer inspection.
To buy new rubber and new tubes for an old bike, I would have more money and time into it than I could expect to get - so, into the scrap heap!
