Venturing Into The Scrap Business

So much information on these forums, love it! I do lawns and teach math but have decided to venture into scrapping part-time for some extra winter work. Lots of fun ripping stuff a part and getting paid for it. Thanks for all the information!

Welcome to the forum, Jeremiah. Keep on reading the old threads....it's like a gold mine...and copper mine....and, well, you get the picture. Glad you joined us and I'm glad I don't have to do any math on here !

Ha jeremiah, I wish I could do math all I can do is count money and tonnage and do quick math. I never passed algebra which still to this day cracks me up because I am glad I never took that class serious because it has never applied to doing scrap at all at least for me. I intentionally failed it knowing I was never going to need it in the scrap industry. Yeah even in high school I knew what I was going to do when I was going to be an adult. Heck I knew since I was in fifth grade that I was going to grow up and be a small business owner/scrapper. Any question you have about scrapping just throw it out there and I am sure someone on this board can answer it. Keep up the good work of teaching the next generation of children the importance of math. Teachers are one of the most under appreciated people in society today and deserve as much kudos as possible because without them we would all be clueless. Good luck and Thanks.
