    Jumping through the hoops

    Hi am Tim and I am a entrepreneur seeing what the scrap metal industry is all about. I currently collect scrap metal anywhere I can find it (dumpsters, property owners, etc.)

    I have a profound interest in scrapping junk cars and would like to use my tow truck to do so, but living in one of the most densely populated states in the country (New Jersey) makes that difficult. I also am very interested in electronics recycling and the processes that are involved in doing it.

    I am about to invest in a Valpak advertising campaign and I imagine investing in a scrap room membership might give me more insight into how to better my business.

    Thanks for the warm welcomes,
    -Tim



    P.S. - I wish I could get "Experienced scrapper" removed from my name because I am by no means experienced.

    Welcome. The "experienced scrapper" title just comes after you post so many times. It's one of those things you kinda grow into.
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
