Occasionally, I get a folded paper sheet in a plastic bag weighted
by a few stones on my driveway. Often the text offers to allow me
to give up my major appliances, computers and car parts for
recycling. The most recent instructions say to leave the items on
the front of the property before 8:00 AM on 9/3.
The company name, phone number and various license numbers
on the sheet do not appear to be the slightest bit valid as per
Google.

They always require me to fill in my full name, phone number, address
and signature on their return paperwork, explaining that this info
is required by my state.

Call me paranoid (please, I pay!) but this smells very fishy.

Clearly, there are enough people that actually fill out this paperwork
to make it worthwhile to "Lorenzo" of "Green Hauling".

What is in it for him?

Your helpful clues, reactions or political libel please?

Thanks!

He's -probably- being 20-questioned by the salvage yard who has legal
ramifications for taking in anonymous scrap in. I've had to sign my
name/addy in the sales slip when scrapping.

He's probably OK, but you might want to leave a note out there for him
to come see you before he gets the goodies. Verify he's who he says
he is and why he needs the info.

OR, if you're devious and use your enemy's name and address...

They passed a law here in Oregon requiring anyone hauling scrap metal to
have a permit in hand for the scrap metal. Basically, if you don't fill
out a permit, you are in violation of the law.

" SB 570 created a new crime for “Unlawfully Transporting Metal
Property” if a person transports metal property on a public highway or
on premises open to the public with the intent to deliver the metal
property to a scrap metal business and the person does not have a metal
transportation certificate in their possession. “Unlawfully
Transporting Metal Property” is a Class C misdemeanor. "

I'm guessing OP is in a state with similar regulations.

You are lucky. I get cryptic notes, sealed tiny little bags filled
with pea gravel and once....5 unexposed 35mm film cartridges long
expired...all with cryptic notations to hide them from the
Government!!

Im nice to one of the local paranoid-skitz ladies who occasionally
wanders the neighborhood, and when I see her, offer her water in her
walkabouts in a full length winter duster, backpack filled with canned
goods and bits of this and that. So Ive become one of her secret
conspirators.

Nice lady...but loony as a Leftwinger

It won't make any difference to either the picker-upper or the
scrapper. All they need is a piece of paper with a name and address on
it. Pretty soon, scrappers are going to be asking for photo ID.
Since scroungers are breaking into abandoned houses and shop and
ripping out the plumbing and wiring to scrap, that's only a normal
reaction by the PTBs.

Catherine or Jody?

"What is the name of your first born child?"

ISY not. A little presumptuous, aren't we?


Yes! They presumed that you had a friend, and a kid... ;-)

And you remember.

That's an easy one, too. Use you first pet's name.
They're children, too, aren't they? (That's why I don't believe in
pet ownership.)

What do you mean. The little buggers own us! I'm the one
dragging out of bed at oh dark early, to go buy them groceries. What
do they do? Complain because the sun moved away from where they were
sleeping!

Just bend their rules a bit and remember what you used, eh?
Keep a list of passwords and security answers in your safe, JIC.

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.

I have gotten so frustrated of late. I got blocked from one
account for some reason. But I can contact them - by email. From my
account. Which is blocked.
Or I can call them. If they can answer the phone and solve the
issue in the one minute I have before the phone runs out ...
I need to get that letter in the mail asking them what
alternatives they have for fixing this problem. I really do.

Like my credit union. You can't get their toll free number if you
can't log in to their website. Or my truck insurance. They expire your
password, without warning. Then you spend an hour on the phone trying
to convince them of who you are, just to pay the damn bill.

Then there's the information that changes. My favorite restaurant for

example.
