    Stumbled on this way to scrap if you have a small storage area

    If you can find some one that needs to be picked up from work and pays your gas to get them. while being in the same area as the scrap yard you could do like me. i pick my brother up almost every day from work and he pays for the gas. i pass right by my yard and able to take it in before i even go get him he never can tell when iv'e been there or not, hope this helps with the gas problems, does for me.

    If he was my brother, I'd pick him up first and then swing by the yard. That way I could make him help me unload before taking his money.

    Nope he says he will never help do that, i tried one day when i forgot my wallet and wanted to use his I.D.. He does help how ever if i need to grab something i see on the way home or loading from the house, but makes sure to complain about it. my nephew breaks down tvs for me, he just likes doing them since he seen how easy it is. and will also help like tear down other stuff as well. yet they won't go to the yard?

    Well, That wouldn't help me much either... the edge of my my driveway to the edge of the scrap yard parking lot is almost exactly 1 kilometer.... I have to drive past it on my way to go to town or work.... the entrance is about a block out of my way if I am going anywhere. lol
