    yeah i know its harder to work for yourself lol. at least my house and my basic bills are already covered right now. my goal at first is to make at least a grand a month. then i would work on improving on it. but any extra income would be great lol. its an adventure either way. not my first small buisness and definately a little bit harder then my last.

    You are lucky to have found so much free and valuable information. Its what I call a masters degree in scraping worth far more that most educations are for old guys like me. Mike.

    First read up on Washington states non-ferrous laws. Do you have a pick-up and/or a trailer? How much room do you have to store stuff? There are so many avenues to persue in Spokane. I get trailer loads every time I'm up there, Always something different.

    I have a 15 passenger van that i can take the seats out. and i'm planning on getting a trailer for it. ufortunately where i live i do not have room to store stuff...so i'd probably have to process as soon as i get things.

    Are you going to have to store any materials you get from parting things out in your van?
