Selling to a larger scrapper

the old saying goes..."work SMARTER, not HARDER" and that much steel...yep smarter to take a cut and save your back....go get other items that pay more.

you have become a "Scrap Liaison". How cool is that. If you could find enough jobs and enough partners you could make out quite nicely!

I'm all for it if it benefits you , i do something similar not with scrap but with resellable items to flea market vendors , saves me time of setting up and loading unloading . They just pick it up from me after I sort . Not on consignment , not retail but at a price that benefits us both . I acquire all of my items thru estate sales, storage auctions and public auctions . It has worked well for me so far . I have a video game guy , toy guy , a few clothing vendors and another guy I met who buys all the women's clothing and purses I can find .

Well I agree with working smarter but,,,,,,, to give up a large percentage of your profit and that's what you are giving up because you went thru the expense of acquiring the customer, furnished the labor of picking up the material, not to mention separating the material,now what I do is very similar but different. While I am located in a city of millions of people, and you are in New Hampshire I believe that you could do what I do, I pay a trash company to do my pulls. They supply the Roll Off container and we load it in my yard,Now the dumpster company loves doing the pull the have no dumping charges and it cost me Two hundred Dollars for the pull they bring a empty when they come and take the full.We use a 30 Yard container for the light iron and average Four ton if it's loaded the right way, I also have a 10 yard container for the heavy number 1 steel brake drums and rotors, that container averages 10 ton they charge me the same two hundred for the pull, I just want to add that the scrap yards in my area would give me a container to load also but I don't want to show my customers where I sell my material number one, and number two I sell it to different yards according to the price and I am not locked into one yards pricing. I also love the fact that my medium duty trucks are not being abused with carrying the weight that they were not made for. Hope this helps Happy Scraping.
