Scrap from scrap

I took a load of scrap in yesterday (got crappy $6 for load ) When I was pulling out a nabor who has ben told lots before that I scrap comes out and askes what I am doing with the metal. I told him that I was scrapping it. He goes oh I didn't know you did that you want some more so I dropped it off and took trailer to his house we loaded up a couple of microwaves, 2 vacuums, 1 window A/C, a lot of car parts, 2 celling fans, some aluminum, and half a load of scrap....I am happy especially when it was only 2 doors down.

Did you check that any of those items worked before junking them ?

Networking. Expand your network of "scrap givers" (for a lack of better word). When people call you to come pick up their scrap, the job gets much easier and more fruitful. When I first started scrapping, finding scrap took up a lot of time. Now several years down the road, I have a network, and the scrap finds me.
(I do still search for it, just not as much time is taken out of my week to search for it.)
