    Solo Scrapping Vs. With a Helper

    I'm having a bit of a dilemma here. My first week of serious scrapping, I had a friend help me and promised him 20% of whatever we got. Well we had a great 3 days here in my hometown during "Clean-out Week" We got like 6 AC's units and 3 Fridges plus hundreds of pounds of Aluminum and 1,000s of steel shred. We were having to make at least 3 drops in my driveway and heading back out for more good stuff all 3 nights. Unfortunately, due to my lack of funds I had to tell him the following month that I was unable to pay anyone to help me anymore. Which was not a lie. But now that I look back it seems like having 2 heads on a swivel with compact flashlights and magnets in-hand seemed to net me Way More Scrap then going Solo has since. Then again it Just started Snowing here, Well past it's due date. Maybe that's the only reason for me not scoring big lately.



    I'd like some personal opinions on Solo Curbside Scrapping during "Clean-out Nights vs. With a Helper please.Thx

    After-thought. BTW I don't need help loading the heavy stuff as I am quite large and strong myself.
