When I go to the salvage yards I have my own little metal wagon of the type
you can get from harbor freight and others.  On there is my large tool box
and a small plastic waste basket (desk top type).  In there I put all kinds
of bolts and little fasteners and stuff.  Usually no charge but sometimes it
is a bit full so at one yard they charge me two bucks.  Another yard hits me
for about five bucks filled up depending on what I filled it with.

BTW the wagon comes with an overall length of about 53 inches.  I cut 9
inches out of the middle and rewelded. It now fits perfectly in my westy.
