    New guy and his brother from Michigan

    First off, thanks to the party responsible for the Android app smart move and very easy to use.

    OK just a normal guy with a day job, but it does allow me 4 days a week to do whatever I want. Have one daughter in college so I figured why not do something that might genre a buck or three.
    Got started when my brother and I dropped off a car battery and a two foot piece of copper tube the came to 11 bucks. I couldn't believe it. So here I am just getting started.



    If nothing else it's something to do.

    I agree, there is a ton of old info available, you might want to put your time into the area of what you want to scrap. Some people (guys and girls) here scrap cars-trucks, some misc, some ewaste, some appliances. figure out what you want/like to do based on your equipment and vehicles, and availability of material/scrap, and what'll bring you the most money for the least time expended. That where I'd be reading first, and secondly I'd be reading the breakdown section. Dismantling, Breaking Down & Maximizing Scrap

    Welcome to the forum. Yes, a lot of info to take in. But think of it this way, instead of finding out the hard way and wasting time and losing money, you can learn the ropes on your android even when on the crapper. It really is good information. Glad to hear 11 bucks got you interested. Wait till you get that $111 load, I bet you won't be worried about too much reading then. Again, welcome and good luck.
