Why?
Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.

My advise to you hunter & scrapper would be to respect your elders and do as they wish. I see in one of your other posts you are only 14. You have your whole life in front of you to scrap stuff. Maybe have your future uncle help you load it and sell it. If it's a decent pile maybe it will open his eyes as to how much money can be made. I feel for you, but sometimes there are liability issues with piles of junk on property, or issues with the authorities not wanting an eyesore in the area. Good luck.

Read my signature line. It all in the way you say something. You sometimes have to make a stand for what you know is right and what is rightfully yours. It may help also to get a few of your relatives that know how hard you worked for what you have and ask them to get him off your back.

my mom hates that i scrap all she sees is a mess same as my dad

How does your aunt feel about it? maybe sit and talk to them and explain how this makes you money and ask if one of them would help you take it in and they can see the ticket/end result. After that, maybe they would work something out with you , give you a certain amount of space to use and help you turn your stuff in if you offer to give them gas money afterwards. Is there a shed on the property you could use?

Respect is a two way street no matter how young or old someone is. HnS has taken the initiative to work hard and and make his own money. He could have easily been like other teens who sit on their a$$es all day, play video games and ask mom and dad for money. Now an outsider wants to take it away...BS!!!! You let someone walk over you once they think they can do it all the time.

Don't be too worried, there are ways around this. Take this load in that he wants you to get rid of, then you need to be more creative about your scrapping. I live in an apartment and I cannot keep a scrap pile around so I keep the most valuable items. I keep stainless, aluminum, copper, and copper wire, I have one work table and a couple boxes of scrap strategically stashed so they're out of sight out of mind. Hoard the high value metals until you have your own place, or a place where you are allowed to pile up the bigger things. Non-ferrous metals, if you break them down all the way, can be stashed anywhere.

Sounds like new uncle has an eye on grandparents property to me. Maybe someone close by from here could help you out, i would rather see you have to split a ticket with another member than cut in your future uncle for a piece. Wish I was close kid, I would do it for nothing. Whatever happens dont let it sour you on making your own money and trying to do things for yourself.

It'll come back to him one day and he'll be sorry.

i mean i have a terrible temper and he just acts like he can insult my family that anit happening anymore im fricken sick of it
|
How big is your pile? If it is enough to fill a 10 yard dumpster, try talking to a rubbish company and see what they would charge to haul it for you. Another option would be to find a fellow scrapper and work a deal, maybe a 75 / 25 split.

Losing your temper is a sure fire way to come out on the losing end. Use your head and be smart. I like the roll off idea. I would also think if maybe a friend has an older sibling that has a pick up or other vehicle that would be willing to help you out. Cover gas and lunch and i am sure you could find someone.Originally Posted by hunterandscrapper
