Why do YOU scrap?

I scrap for "our" national forest, to keep metal out of landfills, to re use parts and pieces to better my own life.

That being said it's nice to have a complete hardware store in my shed and plenty of materials around to build or fix just about anything. the money is good but giving trash a new purpose or cleaning up a dump site in the woods puts me in a better mood than having all the cash in the bank. money can't buy that kind of satisfaction
