    Scrapping Newbie

    I'm new to the world of scrapping. I've been a re-user/re-cycler since the early 1970s. Pushing 60 years of age. Currently in search of a part time source of income.



    I've been lurking for a month or so. Hopefully, I've covered most of the prior postings. I find this to be a great site. Many knowledgeable people. A lot of great tidbits of information.

    I reside in Mesa, AZ. I bought a foreclosed house about a year ago. Much of the its contents are finds from dumpsters, garage sales, and Craigslist. My garage and yard are becoming storage areas for the small amount of electronic and non-ferrous materials I have accumulated from dumpsters in this area.

    Amongst other things, I'm interested in the conversations I'm seeing about making the site more organized to improve the ability to find information. And the desire to provide forum(s) that will better address localized issues.

    Looking forward to making some contributions to the Forum as well as meeting with any electronic scrappers in the Phoenix east valley area.

    Happy scrapping
    Paul

    Nice intro, decide what scrappin means to you. Scrapping can be whatever you want it to be. It will give back whatever you put into it. It's a faithful dog. Put effort towards it and it will give back.
