I have scrapped for almost 25 years.... learning more all the time... I never had any regular pickups until this year. My friend is getting out of the game due to price and his bad back... He gave out my number to one body shop and I made my first pickup last week. 450 pounds of body panels was 6 bucks Canadian... He is going to indroduce me to his one regular customer who is a body shop as well... he said you can get a full size long box pickup of scrap every week or so... now... 2 saving graces on this are... both are basicly on my travel route to and from work.... and there will be aluminum mixed into it as well.... there is a 3rd item as well...the scrap yard is 1km away from my house (half mileish) and only a block out of my way.... as long as I cover my gas, I will be happy as scrap can't stay low forever..... and by then, I will show them that I can be reliable to pick up the scrap regularly and I will have good customers.
