I took a huge step today towards developing my scrapping business. I have worked for a large retail company for the last six years that I have watched throw away a lot of electronics and small appliances. I have picked and collected a little here and there. Today, I spoke with the store manager regarding all of the damaged electronics and small appliances that are thrown out. I asked if I could pick up these damages every two weeks or so. He said it wouldn't be a problem but I told him that I was interested in doing this with all nine stores in the area. He said that he would speak with the district operations mgr and go from there. If he doesn't follow through I know 6 of the 9 store mgrs.
I can rent a dumpster but I will need a drop off locked one with lots of space. Then I have already spoke with management of the property the building that I work at and they said rent for the area of the dumpster is 500. I am trying the angle of picking up the damaged goods from within the building. My manager said that if they move forward on this idea that I might have to create a LLC because of their need to document everything and write it off as a donation. Not sure what that will mean for me.
