Go someplace where there are a lot of barns and sheds. (You still need the van mentioned below, or at least a REALLY big basket for your bike.) Stop at farms and houses that have junky yards. Tell them you have come to save them from being buried alive, and of course they don't have to pay you for cleaning out their buildings, you are happy to be of service.
