    Scrapping is not about picking up metal and dropping it off for cash. A scrapper true definition is a survivalist. Look for ways constantly to make money and survive. Constantly change methods of survival. That sad, Im not picking up scrap much anymore. But im still running junk cars with my wrecker and still making money. We a littly higher at 4c a lb.....so average car 100 bucks or so. I make my money on parts resale.



    So if i were you, I would find things to resell or even break down motors. Motors are only 10c lb current here, but copper 1.60 lb #2. No brainer to break them down. It takes me no word to lie a hour at best to drop motor/trans out of a junker fwd. Whats better...4c or 60 bucks for cores for 500 lbs of junk motors/trans? Plus you can get really ambitious and pull the alu of the motors....then they buy the motor at steel price of 5c.

    My point im getting to...is scrapping is equal to survival. Where there is a will, there is a way. Adapt and find new ways to make cash.

    I did a 1000 cash today in 2 hours with a junk car, cores, and resale parts. Scrappng = survival!!
