So I've had great success getting things for free. Restaurants are getting ready to throw out their food at the end of the night or a coach has been put on the curb, I'm all over that stuff. I love to recycle and reuse, I've got no problem making someone else's trash my treasure. I appreciate people placing these items where others may see it and make use of it. I don't appreciate it when these items are infested with bus, particularly ones the are hard to get rid of and bite you in your sleep, AKA bed bugs. In the past 72 hours, I've spent time and money to rent trucks and pickup 3 mattresses and box springs and a purple coach on two separate occasions only to have to get rid of them when they turn out to have bed bugs. Obviously I'm not doing a good job of thoroughly examining these items before taking them, but it's been pretty dark and sometimes opportunities look too good.


In hopes that you won't go through the same trouble that I have, I'm including this
article on bed bugs.
