    How about Scavenger/Materials Reclamation Specialist? I seem to recall post-apocalyptic settings where people specialized in finding/retrieving resources - metal, for example - though of course, every specific
    instance left my head when I started typing this note.

    A Manila rubbish dump where such live-in specialists have defined areas
    to freely ply their talent for reward, but pre-apocalyptic.


    Hm - I guess Hell Tanner (Damnation Alley) was a type of postal worker.
