Within 15 minutes there was the 'pickers' truck. They took it all. I was curious, and asked them how they got into the business. they said they are both laid off insurance company workers. Picking garbage is hard work, but they are making almost as much as in the corporate world. </P> <P>What have you put to the curb and had picked? I have regretted tossing some stuff, but just as often was startled to see some other stuff taken.</P> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:49:43 GMT ProudMa 2011-07-18T17:49:43Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Your-trash-their-treasure/m-p/97306#M47995 <P>Last night I put out an old snow thrower, broken shovel, and busted de-humidifier.
