    New to scrapping...

    Hi... I am a little obsessed with Metal in general and would like to get into scrapping. Where is a good place to start?

    Best is to read old threads on here.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    A good start would be with friends and family. Almost everybody has old cell phones/computer stuff/electronics stashed away. Anyone you know recently/currently doing renovation work?.... good source of plumbing/wiring scrap. Anybody in your circle have a non-running car/truck? There are lots of possibilities - just have to keep an open mind and a willingness to put yourself out there asking.
