Hey y'all....
Hey, new to the forum. Stumbled across it this weekend while researching breaking down circuit boards. Relatively new to scrapping, my first trip to the yard was last summer with a friend to get rid of a Nautilus machine that was taking up space in the garage. Soon graduated to stripping Romex and scrapping the old gutters that came off my roof, I would love to be able to scrap enough to get my furniture refinishing business up and running. In my former life, I was an Accoutant and have vowed to never be tied to a desk again...
I welcome any advice that anyone is willing to provide, and I'll try not to ask any really dumb newbie questions (I reserve those for the guy who runs the shop at my local scrapyard).
:). Laura

The big thing I have learned is not to assume I know what something is. I sold al bbq grill tops for tin until I realized that was not what I had, lol.

The most important thing I have learned is to use the search function on this site. I find that 80-90 percent of the questions I have are already answered somewhere on the site.

Welcome to the forum, Laura!
Since you used to be an accountant, you might have a line on where to get office equipment that people want to junk (and you tell them how to get a break on their taxes for it, lol). The electronic recycling part of the forum is a treasure trove of information on how to make the most out of scrapping computers and other e-junk. I don't know what your fitness level is, but as a female I like electronic recycling w-a-a-a-y better than lugging really heavy stuff to the yard and not getting a whole heck of a lot for it. And my back likes it a lot better too!
