So remember to replace whatever you rescue out of the dumpster
with an equal or greater weight in bricks. (Carry a goodly stash
of bricks on dumpster-diving missions in case you make a really
good score.) Heck, throw in a few extra bricks, that way you're
actually helping out the waste management company. And instead of
dumping all those hazardous electronics into the landfill, they'll
be dumping safe, inert bricks. And everybody's happy :)
