I'm going to start this off by telling you a little about me. I am 17 years old , and have been scrapping for about 4 years now. Started off with my buddy, and have now got other buddies doing it. I go to high school and am a senior, I start school at 7 a.m, and get out at 3:10 pm, then take my load in to the yard right after school, get paid , get gas, and go out looking for scrap from around 5pm - 10 pm everyday. And on weekends I wake up at 8am and usually stay out until about 8 pm. I live about 10 minutes away from St.louis in Granite City Ilinois , which is one of the largest steel producers in the USA. I drive a 1996 Dodge 1500, that I bought before I got my liscense. (Had a roofing job for a minute) lol. But anyways, about my good idea, I have decided to write down every bit of money I make, and have been doing it . So far this year I have made 919.00 . I am also going to start writing down the number of pounds of metal I bring in to the yard and total it all up at the end of the year. This will be an interesting adventure for me, as last year in the summer , I made at least 150.00 a day, some times tripple that. But I will keep this thread updated every so often. Thanks for reading!
