Young professional female wanting to enter the scrapping business

Don't let being a woman stop you. There are a few of us around. Sure, some people won't take you seriously and you may have to prove yourself but that happens in a lot of fields.

I stick to ewaste, but I am only very part time. If I had the resources and time, I would probably get into doing cars. There is great potential there if you can pick them up for $250 or less. You can resell a lot of the good parts, and separate the more valuable scrap (wiring harness, battery, catalytic converter, aluminum rims, etc.).



Good luck and be prepared to work!
