    New to the Scrapping Business!

    Recently new to the scrapping business, but it's going well so far. Have done some local advertising and have hooked up with some contractors in the area. I have purchased enough tools to get me going and have recently invested in a small trailer. Any advice from some veteran scrappers on how to continue to grow a scrapping business? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Site has been extremely helpful so far. Thanks

    Piece of Scrap hopefully. If it was the other s word, that would be a terrible username.
