Do you just drive around looking for scrap or do you have clients you pick up scrap?

If you know or remember who your grandfather's clients were, it might be worthwhile to visit them and introduce yourself as so-and-so's grandson. I'm sure some the small old time contractor's would remember him and just might give you the business. Couldn't hurt to try.



I myself do this very part time. Those that are full time do have regular pickups. Curb shopping is too unreliable for me to bother with around here. If I happen to see something, I grab it. But otherwise, I tend to watch a lot of auctions. I have picked up from a couple low volume businesses when they have old computers, which isn't very often.
