    New scrapper from NJ

    Hello everyone. I have been reading and researching a lot on the forum for a little while now. I've finally decided to create an account and start contributing myself. I am a full-time landscaper, but now that it is winter I am laid off. I have always been intrigued by the scrapping industry so I started doing it to help with winter income. I've been picking things up from the side of the road and talking to friends for items. I just had my first good pick today while cleaning out a friends parents house. I left with a full pick up truck load of stuff. I haven't been picky with what I pick up. I take the smallest items like remote controls. I have plenty of time on my hands so I mine as well get everything I cam get my hands on. I can't wait to start picking up big money items and possibly turning this into a full-time job. Any tips/advice would always be appreciated. And thank you for all the helpful things I have already read on here!
