    Hello from Indiana

    Hello all

    You got a sort of Newbie, scrapper here. Made few trips to the scrap yard so far.
    More of a collector than a scrapper for the last 54 years, but it's time to change modes of operation.
    Got Tractors, Bulldozers, Cranes, Appliances, Iron , motors, Cars, Vans, and more, that I was gonna fix up... use parts off of...someday... time to let'em go
    I have no titles to any of it, so I gotta cut it up.
    Lookin for help to get the most out of it for the least work.
    So... I come here....hope you all can help!!

    So far I'm still collecting faster than I'm scrapping............It's a sickness, you know
    Maybe you know of a support group?

    Phil

    My best advice for someone sitting on tons of scrap metal... Spend many hours reading up on the different types of equipment you have. You'll be surprised on what you find out on this forum. Information that will save you time, sweat and make you a few extra bucks. Then Go find the best yard that best serves your needs. You already have the metal and that's usually the hardest part of the game. Now you must make the right decisions with your tonnage and after doing so, get paid the maximum by going to your preferred scrap yard. Depending how fast you plan on moving your metal, a good yard will provide you a container at your location to put it in to save you time and money having to haul it yourself. Good luck with it and keep us posted on your success!
