when I was a kid, My family saved alum cans for extra money. Back in 2009 i realized that I hate working for a hourly wage so i thought that i could bring in more than cans. I guess it started when the guy across the street threw out a pile of air ducts, pipies and a fuse box. I was like thats mine, forget the other guys that would take it. Found a few other things that next garbage night. went to the yard and had only 180lbs of shred. Man i thought that was alot but now nothing under 1000 lbs go at a time. I also remember the first time i cut a cord off for copper wire, 3 blocks down and it was a cord from a stand up space heater. boy o boy i thought i was good. I got sick of useing a car because they are too small. bought my 2010 toyota tacoma. Then thought that the truck was too new to keep bringing it to the yard so the next spring of 2011 i saved up and used some money from scrapping and bought a used truck with it. 83 chevy c10. I need to step down at work from 40hours to 32 hours a week. That would help with my limited break down time. Would love to quit my employer paying job to be a fulltime scrapper but I need insurance when i almost cut a finger(s) off.
