Good idea to “stockpile” any waste/valueless stuff we have today. Including heavy metals and chemicals like CO2.
Someday we will have cost-effective means and need for them.
Key is to concentrate and identify so reasonable to retrieve.

@ Nobleea I love that idea. I had an old bbq I put out on the sidewalk and nobody took it for hours. Then finally a neighbor gave it a good home.

I don’t know about starting a landfill or garbage company. I do know that the 1800 got junk guys are making a killing and they were on cnbc as one of the fastest growing franchises. My wife and I used them for an estate sale we did and they hauled off everything we couldn’t sell or donate. We paid them $400 and the truck wasn’t full! I’ve notice that other companies are trying to compete with them and it appears to be a great business model. You figure that some of the items have value and you could sell them or donate them yourself and get a tax break.

I read of an amusing anecdote somewhere (maybe one of these blogs) where someone wanted to give away a piece of furniture and put up a free sign on it and left it in the alley. Nothing happened for a month. Then they changed the ‘free’ sign to ‘For sale, $20, call XXXX). It disappeared that night.
