Welcome to the forum. Re-use is the best recycling so you are already in the club. I warn you if you read the old threads here you may soon know much more about scraping than he does, certainly in some areas of scraping. This may lead to more profit for you. It will also open you eyes to items you might walk by in your hunt for costume jewelry such as brass, copper, electronics etc. So proceed with caution, knowledge is power, Mike.
