    Starting my scrapping journey

    Well, today I made my first step into starting my own scrapping business!!! I went and picked up two radiators, a CAT, four batteries, and a small amount of small metal. This will be my permanent thread from here on out...any tips on selling the CAT and batteries?

    Batteries go to the scrap yard. There are a few threads somewhere about CAT buyers.

    The radiator most likely brass but the fine fins are copper
    clean the ends off as there often plastic that avoids it being considered dirty brass
