    WoW So far so good

    Ok lets start this with, I started e-scraping about 3 weeks ago (when I discovered this forum) and regular metal recycling alittle longer. The metals I get I recycle for gas money basically this area is flooded with ppl scraping, so I started e-scraping and discovered a this area is in need of e-recycling (yeah for me) so far I got 9 stores and a recycler and 1/2 on getting computers, monitors or basically anything with a power cords from and 3 is computer stores (score lol) So I set them up on a route to serve every week, but a bonus was one of the computer stores gave my business card to there customer and she called me up and I got a descent truck load full including a new treadmill haha and she even gave me $25 bucks to come and get that stuff (scored again lol)



    She will be calling me again in a couple of days to pick up some more stuff, including a vintage stereo/cabinet which looks brand new too, going to try and sell that, its in to nice of shape to just scrap that lol.

    But so far this seems like good work/Hobby to be in, and haven been in the route business before, offering services and product's probably helped on getting me started with this.

    Just need to figure out a TV deal my area, it is $25 a pop to take to the landfill, but tryin to get ahold of a environment guy in this state but no luck so far.

    But anyways I would like to Thank anyone and everyone that has posted, ask question's, Tips and tricks, and other ppl's Ideas. This has opened up my eyes for alot of different ways to recycle stuff.
