The Main Thing I Love About scrapping

Just how simple it is



I build furniture and after i finish a piece i have to wait somtimes months to sell it,scrapping just gotta wait till you cash in!!

Two thumbs WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY up on that one Bro!!!

Today i made $30,thats 30 bucks i wouldnt have had took me about 2 hours just really simple not that easy somtimes but nothing is
The only problem with it here is im very late to the game theres probaly 100 scrappers in my town that has 2 stop lights

I know the feeling.

My area is swamped with scrappers as well. Craigslist, newspapers, and more recently, at an auction I went to, people buying up all the stainless restaurant equipment.

Speaking of...there was some stuff the auctioneer didn't want to sell due to how it was built in and didn't want problems with people tearing the building up to get stuff out. Not sure why it even mattered, since they were selling off everything and gutting the building for a new use. So I got a hold of the contractor today to see if there was any stainless left. No, they gutted it and hauled it to the dump. ****it, I would have removed it and hauled it off for free. They had to pay their workers, plus dump fees.

I'm kicking myself for not finding a contact sooner. I estimate there was about $1,500 there.

That type of wastefulness in contemporary industry is seriously disgusting.

It certainly is. My heart sank when I heard "gutted it all and took it to the dump". Aside from the stainless there was quite a bit of copper lines for water and refrigeration. I imagine they gutted that out as well.

Theres a old farm by me and the man that owned it died a few months ago and theres probaly 50,000lbs of metal justlaying all about the house has been tore down i know his family has no use for it but im still learyof getting the stuff but if i dont i know somone will

Go ask the family for salcage rights and tell them you will clean it up for them.
