Hello! from niagara falls, ON, Canada

Hey folks, my name is Richard. I'm a 19 year old recent high school graduate from st catharines / niagara falls, ontario. I have been lurking the forums for a bit, but finally decided that for all the information i have gathered from here, the least i could do is register and introduce myself! I have been taking occasional trips to the scrap yard for a little over 3 years now, but im still a newbie! plagued with a recent lay-off, i have decided to make a full time commitment to scrapping. hopefully you more experienced guys can share some words of wisdom to help me succeed in the business, as i am struggling to even make back the gas money i spend driving around looking for scrap, lol.



anywho, my truck is a 1997 GMC Sonoma, 2.2L 4cyl, 5 speed manual. pretty rough truck but it gets the job done, ill upload a picture as soon as the forum lets me post a link

We are just down the road from you....
We go to ST.Kitts Niagara Falls and Welland from time to time to get scrap. However, it's really just a way to recoup our losses at Casino Niagara.
Need assistance drop us a PM.

tonight i found a 6 foot tall lamp, a very heavy dining room chair, a desk frame and a waiting room chair. pretty rough night, went through a quarter tank of gas for whats going to be under $10 in scrap

wow more canadians.. I was beginning to think they aren't into computers. I went to ontario for a vacation and found myself in niagra falls and hamilton both following scrap trucks around to yards lol. I am in atlantic canada and I don't think anyone else on here is!!

yeah lol there is a lot of people around here who scrap, thought i'd join in

just got a call for a decent haul, too. picked up a load of furnace duct and some copper plumbing, i had my tailgate folded down with duct hanging past my tailgate, and stacked higher than my roof!
