I'm sorry my friends, even though most of you have never heard of me good luck guys
    Are you kidding me?? College is one of the #1 sources of aluminum cans! (ever heard of thirsty Thursday?) My roommates and I used to go around to everyone's rooms and apartments collecting cans and made enough to at least buy essentials.

    Best of luck to you - have a wicked good time up there in Mass. Wish I lived near all those colleges and universities, I would be cleaning up. You could maybe teach some of the more financially challenged of your classmates about escrap for a percentage. Just a thought......

    lol thanks so much guys for the support, i appreciate it! I'll never give up scrapping, serious, you guys have tought me TOO much about it to stop now. there is money to be made out their, especially here in massachusetts man, i pass tvs ALL the time. i just dont have the space to store em and break em down. and ive seen too many scrappers who (exscuse my french) are just plain dumb! i mean they KNOW nothing about computers, and better than scrap value its sickening. i guess we're more pampered and well off in terms of scrapping that people won't break deown tvs and monitors. oh well, more for me and the next guy.

    Scraping has no boundaries . As long as a yard is near so is money . If you have a car all you have to do is cut the wires from appliances as they come your way including some will fall your way. Naturally you will have to pass on items you can't store away. School and scraping I see as very compatible and will keep you on a good path of honest work that will relax you . Only problem I see is others catching on and you will have competition. My niece works a collage cafeteria job as she goes to collage at $7.00 per hour ,that's an easy goal $7 to $8 per hour in scraping
