Hello, just want to say very glad to of found this place.
I been scrapping metal for about 4 years now, I'm 25 and get most of my scrap while out working, doing lawn service.
I have also done very good dumpster diving but here recently that has gone for the worst. I been ran off one site by a shop manager, stopped by the po po twice within the last month. So my scrapping and extra income has really taken a hit.

I been thinking about other materials that can be found much easier than metal such as paper and cardboard. Anyone have luck with these here?

What about plastic bottles that say .05 cents Michigan/etc....Those are everywhere here in Kentucky. I wonder if I collected enough to fill up a box truck if I could take to Michigan and get .05 a pop? No one in Ky buys scrap plastic bottles, we do have paper and cardboard buyers.
