    Working a full time job and scrapping kinda sucks

    Anybody else run into this issue? Since I work a full time job the only time I have to take stuff in to the scrap yard is on Saturday mornings, and I have a bunch of stuff backed up, so I have to take the shred in so I do not get my property looking like a complete mess. That being said my non ferrous is piling up (500 lbs of #2 insulated, 400 lbs brass, 900 lbs copper, etc) as I am putting all my time to the scrap yard in getting rid of shred. It is kinda a good problem to have as when I can take it in I will get an awesome payday, but at the same time I feel like it is funds I cannot access as it is just sitting there in non-spendable form. I am starting to get my property cleared out of all of the dishwashers I had accumulated, so that is a plus, but I am running out of room to store the non-ferrous. A good problem to have, but also a pain. I really wish scrap yards were open more than just half a day on Saturdays, sure would help me out a lot. Oh well, when I retire in a few years then I will not have this issue. Just had to vent some exasperation.
