    Hello,Im Ed and I love creating multiple income streams & strategies for success.

    Ive been a Leukemia survivor off and on since 2001.I finally decided that my 9-5 job was the reason I was broke.I realized that creating my own income & finding ways of monetizing others was more fun than making some other dude money.So here I am,scrap in my drawers,sweat on my brow & blind ambition--Lets see what happens,THANKS EVERYONE!Enjoy your weekend!

    Welcome to the forum Ed. There is a lot to read and a lot to learn. My step sons Leukemia medical bills is what got me in the scrap game 3 years ago. He is also in remission also and doing well.

    Good luck in your new endeavor.

    Welcome and good luck. Be careful who you expose the scrap in your drawers to, many here are minors.

    Best thing about scrapping in Baltimore has to be the dense population in such a small radius . You can make a good living just pickin up cans at Ravens and oriole games alone . People that pay $8 for a natty boh don't colect cans . Being in any city has to have its advantages and disadvantages . Biggest advantage I can think of would be saving a lot of gas on pick ups and having 10x as many neighbors and sources for new items . Good luck on your endeavor and welcome to the forum

    And a big disadvantage would be the stiffer competition and no place to park your goods while breaking it down.

    Yes without a safe place to keep your items , they will disappear before you get a chance to break them down .
