    Hello from Va.

    Just a part time scrapper from the mountains of Va. I've been scrapping mostly non-ferrous metals for a suppliment to my paycheck for about 10 years now. I've been reading the posts on here for a few days now, and had a few ideas, so I thought I'd register.

    I see your between Woodstock and Front Royal so to speak.

    I am sure I have heard of the area, and been through it, but never really paid attention.

    What scrap yard do you travel too?

    If it is ever convenient for you, I would suggest Prince William Metal off Notes Dr.

    You go straight down 66 till you see the Manassas Exit, and on the left side, you see a shopping center.

    You take the right exit, go to the light at the Shell, make a right, and Notes Drive is like 1.5 to 2 miles down on the left, and the yard is about 0.5 miles down that road past a roofing company.

    There is several yards around here, but they normally have good prices. I know the other yards sell to them.

    Thanks! I'm looking for a new scrap yard. Zuchermans seems to have a sloppy system when it comes to ewaste and they're always creating more and more stipulations. Anyway, i get phone calls from your area every now and again for pickups (had a hotel last week in Manasass trying to give away 120 TV's)--too far for me. Maybe we can work out a referal program so that I'll refer these guys to you and you can throw some stuff my way.

    LOL, I saw that add too. Replied to, a few weeks ago too. I think it is nothing more but a measley scam to be honest.

    For ewaste, there is a company here called Potomac Metal, see below for their contact information. I have never sold to them before, for anything, but I do believe they are the only ewaste buyers so far for the area.

    However, there is 2 ewaste guys on here that depending on how much you have, will work with you on shipping and so forth. I have heard nothing but GOOD stuff about both of them, but never done business, just because it is rare I come across pc stuff.

    As far as your little system goes, I am cool with that. You can give them my information, etc and then just shoot me an email or something to give me a heads up. If they are in manassas or manassas park, there is no charges, unless I am having to fight like crap to get it out of a house or something. Beyond that, there is a charge for everything.

    We can also talk more about compensation, etc.

    Never heard of Zucherman's, so they must not be anywhere near me.
