You two have nice chemistry. Thanks for the shout out.

To clarify, I only collect recycling. In my US city, they have different nights for trash and for recycling. I try to keep my hands clean, and the recycling is most often as clean as if it was taken off someone's shelf since they're in clear plastic bags or boxes. It's insane. Feel free to skim back in my blog or Google steemmatt and recycling to see years of examples with pictures you wouldn't believe.

They also actually have major team operations to collect bottles with small armies of people and rental trucks that get filled to the brim.

Since you discussed saving coffee, I find Keurig, Nespresso De'Longhi and Breville coffee machines outside on the curbs all of the time. There are other brands, but they're usually not valuable. I don't take the full Keurigs unless they're a higher end model, but always take the K-Cup 1-3 part holder set, grates and drip trays since they sell like... coffee. While not worth much, I also often have a standing listing for the single one piece K-Cup holder since they're virtually everywhere outside.

Here's one of the nicer ones I found 200 feet down the street form my apartment that I sold for a discounted $380 cash. It's a Rancilio Miss Silvia.

I quit my job about 4.5 years ago to to thrifting and hit 15+ stores a day here, but I don't need to thrift at all now as recycling is all I need, plus it's helping a bigger cause at no risk.
