    Question Very large company, with apparently no recycling / scrapping agent

    If there was a very large buisness, with no apparent recycling / scrapping agent how would you approach this?

    I do not have the infrastructure / finance / contacts or organise or set up a contract, and of course I do not have the facilites to collect scrap from the 1000's of sites that they have.

    I am just wondering how to approach this? I am just one man, but know that a contract could be organised worth a lot of money.

    That said, since I am admittedly insignificant, I have no resources to speak of it is likely I would be left by the wayside.

    How would you approach this?

    I would gain some experience before I would approach them. Big companies expect a big first impression and you don't want to ruin the one chance you may get.
    If it wasn't for the $ in $crap, it would just be.....

    maybe try to hook up with people on here that are in the areas of their other locations? Maybe tell them you will start by providing independent service providers for 10 of their locations and start adding new locations on a regular basis?

    if nothing else you could get the work and refer it out for a cut, a referral is better than nothing
