I scrap I have learned a true skill .
self taught and this forum has been real information
of use
I started a Job with a trash company 4 days a week about 30 hrs weekly
I drive a small trash truck and pick up about 2500 lbs trash per day
drive lifting climbing in truck to arrange bags to stay are the basic tasks
then removal .
My recent years scrapping conditioned me that the work at hand is second nature now
dumpster diving to retrieve metal is harder then trash bags,
the smell maggots no effect as
thats always been the summer deal to retrieve some dumpster items
I will be able to also retrieve TV's as I find them and cherry pick scrap I feel is worth keeping
day ends at 3:00 yard closes @ 6:30 so I still scrap
I see what I did now for the last 4 or 5 years was key I understand weight and scales
& most important I know what can be scrapped
I now can sell my plastic from Vacs TV's for $25 a ton wile not much
finally it's not trash . I found a recycle plant that buys from the trash company
so I can also drop off as it's on the way to yard
Some thing is up in my life , like a key it seems to fit.
