    Smile Baby Scrapper

    Hey guys and gals! I'm new to scrapping and have been haunting the forums for a little while. I'ver read lots of great things and gotten lots of ideas that I never would have thought of(I would have never known you could recycle old computers for instance).

    I'm from a small rural town in Mississippi and I have 3 scrap yards within 15 minutes of me. I don't know why I didn't start doing this sooner! I've already sold a few loads and made a few bucks, but no motherloads yet. Hope to learn a lot from the pros on here and maybe contribute some as I learn more.

    Welcome aboard! I used to run a two day route in Ms. delivering exhaust supplies. I remember seeing lots of places with old rusted out farm equip and junk cars. Plenty of good opportunities for a scrapper in Ms. Go get it and good luck!!

    Hey skylinejackjr, could you give me the name of the area you were in? That is assuming that someone else hasn't already claimed all of that free money lol.
