    From northern Ontario

    Hi there, I'm kinda new at this whole forum thing, but here I am. I'm from sudbury Ontario, and trying to get my recycling company off the ground. Figured I'd join this forum group and meet some people in the industry. Great site, lots of great info. I'm kinda scrapping right now on a part time basis until I can save up for some more equipment. And don't really have the funds to buy scrap... just got a free removal service going. I have been putting ads up on Kijiji, and posters at local corner stores. Winter has been pretty slow but working through it. Anyways hi all, any info on business advancement or advertising would be greatly appreciated.

    Garson, but just bought 40 acres outside Chelmsford. Then I'll have lots of room to sort scrap and make a bit of a yard

    Welcome aboard the happy scrapp'n train Rees. I'm originally from the Nickle Capital too. Had a camp on Crooked Lake for awhile. I still may retire there. Hope your new biz gets Rock'n after you've absorbed some of the gems stashed all through this place buddy. Cheers. lb
