You know your city might be the worst for CRH when....

1.) You are driving home from work, and on the side of the freeway you see spread out over about 150 ft, 3 Brinks Penny boxes, Brinks dime box, Brinks Quarter Box, and a Brinks Half box.

That's too funny man, I've been picking up dumps left and right.

Pulling over tomorrow, lmao. Im truely addicted that I have to CRH on the side of the road.

I thought I saw them yesterday but really wasnt paying attention. Sure enough, today, there they were.
 
I've often wondered what people think when they see the boxes and wrappers that I've thrown in the paper recycling dumpster.

One week I had 8 half boxes and 2 or 3 dime boxes. To a fellow CRH, they might think, "There is a guy working small volume."

To an outsider...it looked like someone had robbed a bank!
 
I save most of my boxes, im in the process of trying to make a book shelf for all my coin books out of a bunch of boxes.
 
As a re-roll dumper :-\ I use my cent boxes (turned inside out) to return my halves. I get a 1K bag, so I need something to return them in. And the tellers are happy to have something to store them in until they return them to the carrier. I also get a $500 box, but need that to return them in, too.

I have only done a box or five of dimes and nicks, but I'm thinking about increasing that. I'm gaining too much around the midsection from the diet of skunk I've been living on. All my clothes are shrinking!!

Paper rolls go into the recycling with my newspaper (I dump my own recycling, so no one sees what I have) and the plastic cent tubes go with the plastic bag (Wally world type bags) recyclables.

Other than drowning a few polar bears with the gas hog I drive, I try to keep my CRH'n as green as possible.

;D

NEVER NEVER DUMP YOUR BOXES IN YOUR OWN GARBAGE CAN YOU ARE JUST ASKING FOR TROUBLE.Dont litter either.I dump my boxes far from home to avoid theifery!And always take different routes and always look in your rear view mirrors all the time.I was in the burbs once and had a creep follow me.TRUE STORY.i GOT HIM NERVOUS WHEN I DID A U TURN FAST AND STARRED STRAIGHT AT him.Never saw him again.Cop gave me the advice.

Great advice! The guy who goes through my trash also has the audacity to come ring the doorbell from time to time and ask about the 'gluten free' boxes he sees!
 
Garbage here is all automated. Truck drives up, Motorized Arm reaches out and grabs the huge can with a swinging lid. Lifts it high over the truck, lid opens and dumps contents. On way back down, the lid flops shut, arm retracts and the driver goes on to the next one.

I do not put CRH waste in recycling, that gets done by hand.
 
Does AZ have silver mines? I know there is a big coin shop called CMI out there, so there must be alot of collectors there.

Yes AZ is one of the biggest producers of both silver and copper. There are a few nice coin shops down here, but I have to say not nearly as many as I would have expected with a city of this size.
 
That explains why Idaho, Nevada, and AZ suck for CRH. Too many people familiar with precious metals.

That could very well be true. The only thing that saves Phoenix is the fact that there's 12 banks per square mile, lol.
 
How many square miles is Phoenix? That doesn't sound like alot of banks, density wise.

Phoenix itself is just under 518 square miles. The metro area(the valley) is easily double maybe triple that though and much of it has a similar concentration of banks.

The banks are endless.

Intersections with banks on all 4 corners. Kind of nice sometimes.

I swear there's banks out here I've never even heard of, haha.
 
Lucky you. I can't find enough banks around my area. But that might be why I score fairly well.
