    New Scraper from NC

    Hello,

    I've been involved in selling scrap to yards here in Central NC for about 4-5 years now. Mostly lead. Also have other types of batteries which we palletize and send off to an approved epa recycler. Have been doing this type of recycling for about 20 years. The business I'm in collects batteries from retail customers and we have to find an outlet for them.

    I'm married with one child. Don't like throwing things away if a use can be found for them. If it generates some extra money so be it. But hate discarding things that have value. Not so much the $ as just like seeing it get passed on to live another useful life.



    Regards,

    Eric aka Hangtime

    Welcome to the forum Read the old threads they contain the best education you could get on scraping. You will learn things you didn't know and didn't know you should. 73, Mike

    You will learn things you didn't know and didn't know you should. - Miked


    For example....

    Goat body parts...



    What happens if a goat tries to fuse to/through a fence...


    What brings everyone to the barn..




    Which is better? Pirates or Ninjas? (That's rhetorical. Pirates are obviously the correct choice.)

    An other things!


    We even talk about scrap metal, computer parts, my cooler, goats, trucks, tools..etc etc.


    A sense of humor is strongly encouraged. Not needed, but encouraged.

    Sirscrapalot - Sandbar resident, off of NC. Welcome.
