    Hello from Edmonton Alberta

    I've been a long time lurker, reading and learning from this forum. So much so, that I finally made the leap and joined up.

    I am in Edmonton, Canada and have been dabbling in scrapping part time / hobbyist level. I keep migrating towards the e-waste side of things and much to the wifes dismay have found a way to fill the garage with electronics to break down. I find it calming to work in there, see how the electronics are put together and get my destructive side out a bit too.

    In saying all that, I am hoping to make some part time income out of this. Some of the things I'm interested in learning more are, sourcing ideas and suggestions (I do kijiji pickups and started handing out flyers), and finding a local buyer. So far I've been selling the metals to local scrap yards, but stockpiling any circuit boards etc.

    If anyone is in the Edmonton region, or even Red Deer or Calgary would love to meet up for a coffee or beer and compare some notes. Thanks and look forward to learning some more, and maybe one day passing on some of that knowledge forward.

    Welcome to a forum dedicated to those with a metal addiction. It sounds like you have taken the first steps and will know you are fully addicted when everything in your life revolves around scrapping and you start lying to your wife about your scrapping activities. As a lurker, you have no doubt seen many of the old posts. You have also viewed many addicts on this forum. Good luck with this lifestyle.
    Give back more to this world than we take.
