I think this will be interesting!

I work in a luxury hotel and what most people wouldn't know is:
The items most often left behind and never picked up again are:

-Half Full Alcohol bottles (spirits mainly)
-Iphone charger cables
-Sex toys (from tame to out-of-this-world kinky) and porn mags.

What's your trade secret?
 
That I give cash out and swap them for gold necklaces when people go broke on poker tables, and I take the cash back on the table... Cash the gold necklaces in.
 
Being "retired" get lots of pension cheques to keep the green$$ flowing. Yeah "old age" has some benefit!

As for running a "poker swamp of gold necklaces" operation-be on the "winning side" most of time!

You know sometime they do that on purpose since they can't bring it home. They buy toys then leave it there.
 
There is one that they do something stupid in the SCIF.

Sometime employee put paper wrapped with bubble gum in the shredder, or sometime under the table.

Shredder..jeesh...what a mess.
 
I keep the copper left from replaced furnaces and air conditioners and yesterday I sold a few days worth for 96 at the scrap center.

Recycling is pretty big here, too. Just yesterday, I had a newspaper coupon for getting $2.01 a lb for clean aluminum cans. They were cans from just from my household. Maybe smithr can send me his.....:lol: Trivia: It takes 22 12 oz cans to get a pound.

Yep. There are three grades of copper, the highest being pure copper, the second highest being copper with solder, and the third highest being predominantly brass. They separate them at the recycling center and you would be surprised to see how much you have. Copper is now about 3.20 a pound.

No offense, but are you sure? People keep saying the economy's tanking but the rise in commodity prices show a GROWTH in economic strength. The recycling center hired seven more people since my last visit, I noticed, and the Home Depot hired 20 more people instead of the usual 3 they hire yearly. Just saying. Of course, it could only be in MY area. :lol:

The simple way to explain this: When the dollar gets weaker - it requires more dollars to buy commodities.
