What do you do besides scrap metal? - Page 5

I stick group labels on bags of blood.
Creepy huh?

? What else is there

custodial for a school district.the schools took budet cuts so now theres less hours and more work you have to do in the now smaller time slot. you also have to do work thats not in your area. ex, groundskeeping,maintence etc.

on the side i do computer repair and various things. i sometimes pick up extra 67-72 chevy trucks to help in completing mine and then resell and or scrap whats left over.

before i came across this website i had a garage packed with computer equipment and not realizing the value i tossed alot.

Hi I am somewhat new to the forum...I liked this post tho...

3rd I fix and resell all of my computer equipment that I pick up

4th If its not broken and I have no use, a pawn shop will gladly accept it

5th I buy appliances on the side so that I can sit at home and fix them and resell them also on craigslist

6th Help out with a few apartment complexes for their trash (AC's appliances, etc...

7th Smoke a lot of weed or spice and drink a lot and be lazy and wait for craigslist sales

I'm currently on unemployment, worked at a Honda dealer for 2 1/2 years until june of 2010. Went back to school to get my GED and i'm now enrolled in the Ajuto Technician program....while I receive extended unemployment benefits for being "in training," it's still not enough to cover my bills. I'm 23 and live with my g/f and we don't receive ANYgovernment assistance (housing/welfae/etc) so this brings in alotta extra money to pay the bills, keep a roof over us, and pay my Snap-On bill...lol. Not to mention I love tearing stuff apart, it's easy to come by, and makes me feel better knowing i'm doing a little bit to save the enviornment. I'm not a hippy by any means, it's just the concept.

work..... highway and bridge construction
scrap..... for fun and extra money for more scraping accessories!
play music.... when i'm not scrapping to keep my fingers happy!

full time scrap wholesaler and reseller

I am an engineer for a semiconductor wafer fab. I sit at a computer and study charts and graphs all day. Scrapping is a nice diversion. It sure feels good to throw some metal around after sitting around all week racking my brain. I also like scrapping because its something I can do with my kids. My 4 year old boy loves to go to the yard and tear stuff apart. I am using what money I earn to buy more scrapping equipment and pay off some debt I have racked up trying to raise 4 kids.
This forum is awesome. I have learned a ton from all of you. I make a lot more money at my full time job, but enjoy scrapping much more. My co-workers sometimes make fun of me for scrapping but I could care less. It is a lot of fun for me.

I am a full time Recycling Center worker (NH DES Level 4). I also repair and troubleshoot PCs. I am scrapping Ewaste to help my addiction to collecting coins.

Nothing now full time auto scrapper.Well not full time about 20 hours or less a week

When the economy went south, my husband's masonry work came to a standstill, and we almost lost our house (duplex that we live in and rent out -had an auction date set and everything), we started to take apart a bunch of computers, tvs and monitors for the copper. We slowly worked our way out of things, my husband's work picked up a bit, and by then I'd caught the scrap bug. Formally started my business, Lady Scrappers, in August of this year. I do it part-time as I have an autoimmune disease that affects my joints, am in school(almost have my bachelors, then onto a master's program to teach post-secondary English), and am a stay-at-home mother of two boys, ages 7 and 4. LOVE scrapping and don't ever foresee stopping!!
