    Perseverance and hard work. I started out just driving my neighborhood but expanded to surrounding counties. Word of mouth - all my neighbors and friends know I do it and save me stuff. Pass out flyers or cards with your name and number on them. be a good scrapper - respect of garbage goes a long way. Smile and wave when you drive around. Everyone knows me now and wave to me every day I go by their houses if they are out. Most know my driving routine times and put scrap out for me before they put their regular garbage out or wave me down for larger items.

    Know how to get the most money out of your scrap.

    it takes time to build up to a profitable business but you have to put the time in to it. Dont let the bad days get you down.

    Scrapper, Scrap Yard Worker, Horse farm worker, Cooler Puller and just plain ''tired''
