In Northland and in the city of Bayonne especially there is a huge number of people who do nothing but scrap and salvage things to make a living. They're often, but not always, slum dwellers. Often they live amidst refugees in the shanty towns that dot the city. While not a desirable profession these people are rarely looked down upon. In fact middle class people will often pay these scavengers to haul away large bulky items they want to get rid of.
Not all use horse drawn wagons. Many use old pickup trucks, hand carts, and three wheeled cargo bikes and motorcycles.

The entire setting in general. There's kind of a post apocalyptic felling to it (I seem to remember reading somewhere that this is a modern day Great Depression), as residents do what they can to survive. Stuff like that. Would love to know more about various locations, too, as well as public transportation in all forms, especially rail (both LRT and regular passenger/freight).
Lol, sounds like a very interesting guy. People went around on horse drawn wagons to collect scrap in NYC into the 1970's.
I know in Britain they call scrappers rag and bone men. In the old days the bone they collected would be made into knife handles. I can only guess maybe that guy carved bones into things?

Huh, this sure took "some" time to complete! Nicely detailed, many interesting little pieces. I like how the carriage reuses scavenged truck parts, wonder what that handle is for (seems like handbrake, sure a creative enhancement, like why not if he a truck chassis to start from). Those girders on the top are odd, like if they were underground or in an underpass, or maybe just on a road passing through a building. Despite the dilapidated nature, some order seems to be present, at least the owner of the carriage for some reason takes care to prevent solidified engine exhaust polluting the road :)
