Well so far, I learned a new tip about a possible way to obtain scrap metal. Shooting ranges. Not sure how will it will work out, but since my brother in law has a lot of connections, I will be looking into that very soon.

I am happy to help anyway I can.

You being on the other side of the scale as someone stated I have a question. When you have people drop off copper, batteries etc. who do you sell too? I am new to this world and want to understand who the yard sells too and what kind of profit.

I can tell you the answer is probably going to be different from anyone that answers lol. For example, I asked at both yards I use and one sends overseas and one sends to the big city nearby and it stays ''in house'' as I like to call it. I much rather appreciate the one that stays here instead of us sending overseas to scrap out and then we buy it right back. I'm just trying to support the US as much as possible on all ends.

Dee, that might just be what that poster was asking about (the *where*), as myself, I was curious where stuff went but I never asked how much THEY made off stuff, lol. Kinda like not discussing paychecks with co-workers ya know?

I run this from my home, so anything I get, I go and pick it up.

I do let people know where I take things, but the thing is, they just ask out of curiousity, because before me, they didn't know someone did this stuff.

That, and the fact that most are to lazy to do it themselves.

Helijac...are you going to tell all your customers who YOU sell to and what kind of profit YOU make ???

I do this all the time. People don't care. They are just happy to be rid of their junk!

and want to understand who the yard sells too and what kind of profit.

Kind of a silly question, go to Walmart and ask them who they buy from and how much profit their making off of you.
Not being impolite here but I would not go there.
