    New to the Scrap game

    Hi all, name is Nick.



    I run a seasonal summer business in Massachusetts and have decided to try scrapping these next few months to make it through winter. I’ve been at it already for about 6 weeks with some small success. (Buy low sell hi!)

    I have very little knowledge in scrap so this forum will be a big help in getting started.

    Thanks
    -Nick

    Welcome to the forum. I would imagine that if you had the space, it would work out to collect in the summer and break the stuff down in the winter.... But scrap can take up a ton of space.
