    So What First Got you into Scrapping?

    There may be other threads on this I haven't been able to find; if so, I am not offended at all if an admin/mod were to elect to merge this with such or move it to a different board/category.

    What first peaked your interest in metal recycling? Let's hear your stories. I'm curious if there are general trends...

    Here's my story: I grew up in rural Alaska. Was disposing of my refuse in less than environmentally responsible ways, but what else are you gonna do in such a situation? I was looking into what it would take to get our community to ship its trash out of there to someplace else.


    Later, I got into old army trucks. Stories of these beasts being scrapped had me thinking "Can they even crush that thing?" Granted, I later considered cutting one up myself. So in a way, I was just curious to see the processing end of it. I'm one of those types who has always enjoyed watching "destruction" of any type, so the processing end fits in with that...

    Anybody else have their stories?
