    the new guy

    hello everyone,

    i am new to the site, i like what i see it is very well put together. Been in landscaping for a while, and always seem to come across metal items that either were given to me, thrown away, or asked to haul off. in the past i would just throw the stuff away totally unaware of the potential income in bringing the stuff to the scrap yard. so here i am and the learning begin's...

    Welcome from Indiana...

    Don't feel bad. I used to throw away any metal I had and give scrap vehicles to the junkyard, until a scrapper friend opened my eyes.

    There is a lot of "free money" around to be hauled off, just takes a little work to process it for the best money. We have quite a few that do scrapping in addition to their "other" business. Would be a great addition. Welcome.
