Scrapper here. I collect beer cans at Walmart but homeless will yell to claim cans if I try to collect cans around where they live. I am fine with avoiding the debris around their tents, but they don't own the whole planter. How can I remotely grab cans that aren't near their tents without stepping foot onto the planter?
They don't own the property so they have no right to the cans. Tell them to fuck off. Use a stick with a pointy bolt on the end to stab the cans and pick them up very angrily. If they confront you spear them in the jugular.
>>2864392I like the drawing you made for this. Including the shitty parking of that pickup truck kek
>>2864392Get a drone to fly in quickly, stab the can, and fly away.
>>2864399Shouldn't the beer drinker own the can? Keeping a lost wallet is theft after all.
>>2864392Go in the walmart and purchase a leafblower. Send the homeless encampment flying to the four corners of the earth. Return the leafblower.
Which shit hole city or town do you live in where there's enough discarded cans to be lucrative?
>>2865395America
>>2864392Be visibly armed and tell them they should've picked them up first if they wanted the cans.
>>2864449If they wanted them, they would have gathered them up as they were drinking them. Not thrown them out in a disputed area.
>>2865395Toledo. People here are dirty and we can cross the border into Michigan where they pay $0.10 per can. Technically it is illegal but everyone does it anyway. Scrap value of cans isn't worth the trouble but in Toledo we have the perfect storm of filth and closeness to the border for the "deposit" value to make it worthwhile.

>>2864392This guy knows enough CAD to make detailed plans > more lucrative to pickup cans than get a job at an engineering firm Checks out, this for sure is California. I don’t know man, getting in fights over cans with the homeless medical doctor probably isn’t smart might refuse to treat you
>>2864392Expand this drawing with proposed border lines. Give them a 3’ exclusive ecanomic zone around their tents and declare lands outside the EEZ as public collecting grounds. Tell them if they do not accept the proposal you will go to war or something. If your collecting operation is profitable enough you may also try and bribe them with a cheap camping chair or a sleeping bag from the Walmart.Or, seeing the zone is only a car length wide you could just get a very long can grabber.
Status Update: this morning a homeless man threatened to cut me if I didn't stay out of his neighborhood. Now I am effectively banned from the whole parking lot. I don't want to get into a knife fight with a bum over a few cans. What do?
>>2866879aren't homeless encampments flammable?
>>2866879It's your own fault. Collecting cans is owned by the homeless. If you enter their world, then you got to live by their rules, and knives are part of it.
>>2866879Show up with a bigger knife and establish dominance.
>>2866932>Collecting cans is owned by the homeless.I get this, but what I don't understand is if they want them, then why don't they pick them up? These cans are just laying around.
>>2866969It's not about the cans. It's a shit test. Homeless camps often operate like women, on a hen pecking order. The biggest bully rises to the top.
