There's a lot of information here this morning. From what I understand, garbage at the curbside is abandoned property, police often use that tenent to extract evidence from crime scenes or suspects. I leave scrap metal on the curbside with the expectation that someone will stop and get it. Last fall I cleaned out my garage and two sheds, I had around 600 pounds of old rims, rotors, steel cabinet,lawnmower and snowmobile engines etc..it was gone in a couple of hours...it did me a favour and gave some scrapper a few bucks for hauling it away. It was not worth my time or fuel to load it up and take it into the city to a recycler...on the other hand a bin at a business that has scrap metal is a different story, that business likely has a contract with a recycler to recieve so much a ton for the scrap picked up, in return the recycler provides a bin and pick up so going there is a no no! I would ask if I saw something in a dumpster at a business..sitting on the curb for pick up, I might just grab it..it was put out to be taken away. We are on a Blue Box programme here and people used to go through blue boxes at night and pick out the aluminum cans, we have depostit on whiskey wine and spirit bottles, garbage pickers used to take any that were put out in the blue box. The Recyclers got real upset that their profit margin was shrinking because these valuable commodities were being pilfered out of the blue boxes. I believe that now the local police will stop you if they see you going through blue boxes..don't know if they charge you, likely warn you and run you off. If its in a blue box I wouldn't touch it, if its a pile of refuse and I saw something I wanted I may grab it..but that sure doesn't happen very much.

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
