The Scrap Metal Removal Services Section works

I just got a phone call based on the scrap metal removal services ad in the section at the top of the forum. Her husband has a steel garage door he is trying to get rid of and was going to drive it to me. I am behind on getting my trailer and not able to take large steel yet, but was able to give her a place closer to where they live and get a few dollars, rather than him using the gas to get it to me.

She was happy and I now have a fire under my butt to get rid of my big cooker and get that scrapping trailer.

P.S. there are no scrap yards in my actual town. They are in the town north and in the town south. Wish I had the space to open a real facility here.

Same deal here. I get a good few calls from both my town/city to many other citys and towns.

Thing is the more places where you show up and you put your best foot out...you will get a lot back in return.

I for one...would like to hear the story on why the admin started this website...what had the light bulb pop on. That would be a good read.

Joining the scrap room to gain the ability to post a service ad is a surefire investment.

Huzzah!!!!

I have gotten many calls from the ad. Commercial and residential...I've even had a lady pull up her search on her phone while I was loading and sure enough, there was that familiar red color this forum has.

I just had to add my 2 cents to this posting as I got a call yesterday and the guy delivered a "large" tv set. When I asked how he heard about me (always nice to know what's working) he stated that when he googled our county electronic recycling, that my ad from here came up right near the top (#2).

I checked it for myself and it's nice to see your ad come up on the first page of google. This was my first call as far as I know, but after looking at how old my ad was, I modified it. Maybe this is a sign,,,,

I've had a few inquiries lately regarding how to post here. To clarify, there are 2 ways you can advertise your scrap metal removal services here.

1 - Scrap Room Membership subscription. Scrap Room members can post a thread in this section.

2 - Scrap Metal Services Access subscription. This allows you to post a thread in this section but does not come with any additional perks.

Subscriptions

After payment your account will have permissions to post in the services section.

Bringing back an old thread but just had a call to pick up a broken washer. Come to find out that it was a distant friend that had forgotten that I scrapped. I asked how she found me and she had Googled "appliance recycling in Kosciusko County" and my ad came up right behind the county recycling ad, in about 5th place. It's still working. Don't get a lot of calls but every one helps.
