    Hello from Fairfield County Connecticut

    Hey all,
    Part timer here who accumulates most of his scrap through work (home improvement). Ended up finding this site because I was really disappointed by what I got at the yard for my last haul (go about 4x per year). Felt ripped off and came here for info on how to best maximize my returns at the yard.

    Welcome to the Forum, loeborg. This is the place for maximizing scrap. What'd you take in?
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
