CarwashTreasures.

[Masonlid]

Through the yrs,I have found many lost treasures in the trash.Every morning before work,I stop by the local car washes to see what I can find.I have done this for yrs now.I have found many different and weird stuff.I have returned a lady her wallet that had been stolen.I have found driver liscences and returned them.Here is a few items that I have found in the past few yrs.

Don't forget to look around walls. Used to live near a car wash that had a brick wall around it. Used to find lots of stuff in the dirt field behind the carwash. All I can figure is when people slung their floor mats up everything went over the wall. Not much in the gravel strip in front of the wall, but the backside always had the goodies!

ah yes cleaning up at the car wash --- folks use those super sucker vac's to clean their cars -- things get under folks seats and folks not looking just shove the hose under the seat areas --zurk into the catch bin tank things go ---when the help that works at the car wash dumps the catch bin in the trash can / dumpster -- the goodies go with it

Yeah, that IS a great idea. Years ago I used to look where they dumped the vacuum out. All kind of goodies there.

I used to do the car wash thing,back when you could turn in Marlboro miles for gifts.......It was the year after you could get a pool table for 25,000 Marlboro miles.......I thought No way could 2 dozen people even get that many in a year.......The next year,while laid off from work....I was junkin for scrap aluminum,and iron......And wasn't getting much.............I decided to look for items at the car wash,and it was a gold mine...........In those 3 1/2 weeks....I got jewelry,,,,,,,,coins,,,,,,and over 18,000 marlboro miles...........
I ordered about 2 of every thing in the catalog.......2 Marlboro Jackets,2 shirts,2 pair of Dan Post Cowboy boots,2 hot/cold coolers,ect,,,,,,,,and still gave away about 3,000 or more Marlboro miles to family and freinds..................I hit every car wash in a 20 mile radius about 4 times each to do it tho.....
It can be profitable...........

I started this by collecting aluminium cans and it grew from there.I still pick up the cans.

I did find over $20.00 in change after they had cleaned out the vacs.......now they go through it after they empty them.
