Short Presentation

Hello Scrappers!

I'm new to scrapping in general and is eager to learn more. Personal stuff! I'm 37 years old and is working as a business developer/account manager in Sweden, Gothenburg. Currently I sell bearings and parts to the industry here in Sweden.



Right now I'm collecting metalls from e-scrap that I get my hands on from different areas. Aluminium cans and other household sources of alu.

Doing a shoutout to any Swedes in the house! If you are the sharing kind and would like to give me a pointer or two, do not hesitate to send me a message. I might send you one. The questions I are interested in right now are: Where do I sell my scrapp in Sweden. How do I sell it? That is how clean does it need to be? Could I get more if I melt scrapp myself like soda cans, so I get a nice piece of solid Alu? Things like that. And if I want to open my own scrapyard what should I think about? Swedish regulations and so on. Mostly for e-scrap. I can google it but tips are always appreciated.

Well I like gold and I'm goldstruck like so many others. I like garagesales and fleemarkets. I like to scrap thoroughly and it might take me longer but I can't be sloppy. Do it right or do not do it at all.

My dream is to have a little self powered farm in the Swedish countryside. With a goldmine!

Any questions just ask!

Welcome from the southeast corner of British Columbia, Canada!!

If you are in the bearings and parts business you probably contact businesses that use those products? Then you are in a position to possibly talk to them about what they do with their scrap!! Once you get comfortable with scrapping as a hobby you will probably find you are looking for more material to scrap.

Read the threads on this forum...there's lots of information here that should interest you and give you hints at where to get started.

Good luck!

Jon.
