    Hello

    Hello all. I've been here for a while, but don't post much.

    I've been scrapping my whole life. I started by saving copper/brass from construction sites in high school. I scrapped all through college and made more in my spare time than most of my friends who went to school and had full time jobs.



    Currently I work for a small sanitation company, which is where I get most of my scrap. I also get scrap from a plumber, auctions, farm sites, and a trailer company. Right now I'm trying to expand. The sanitation company has a very good reputation around here, so it opens allot of doors for me. The owners let me use their equipment/tools and help me every chance they can. Eventually I would like to get all the scrap at our county dump, do electronic drives, and have an appliance drop off. I just started talking with our county head of recycling and waste about some of these ideas.

    Take care

    david

    Great to see you posting, David. Sounds like you have a good supply of scrap coming in, sometimes that's the hardest part.

    welcome david!
    God is great, scrap is good, and people are crazy

    Its better to be scrapping and thinking of God than sitting in church thinking of scrapping

    Welcome David, word of caution seems someone else is seeking your fortune!
