Thanks for the input Mick- I know your a font of knowledge around here and people really appreciate you sharing what you know.

I have some ideas on my own, but I don't want to waste time and money reinventing the wheel if I don't need to. I wanted to see what was working for other people. I've peppered one of the owners at the recycling yard with questions, and I have an email out to him now that I'm hoping he will answer.

Among other things, I wanted to see how they would pay me if I set up a location that took the yard's dumpster.

Mick- are you paying cash up front, or will any of your customers let you pay them a week after pick up (after you've had time to sell the material)?
