Worked for the local garbage company, thus the moniker. The bulky waste route had some pretty nice items sometimes. Some so nice that when we drove by to service the pile was already gone. My shed is full of bike projects from those days. What got me back into bikes was a 78' Schwinn Spitfire 5. Best bike was a 70's Bottechia Professional. Retired but some of my old colleagues still call when they find bike related items.
