    Hey H&S. I just want to first commend you for getting into scrapping at such a young age. Believe it or not, I'm actually not that much older then you, and I was kind of in the same situation as you with family members not being fond of my scrapping. After having my father take me down with my first scrap load a few years ago, I was hooked, but not necessarily the rest of my family. They saw it as trash which really frusterated me. I would keep collecting "trash" and hiding it behind my fence until I could take it down with my grandpa's trailer. I did that for years and that's how I scrapped until I got my truck. I know, it really sucks having to depend on other people to scrap, I've been there, a lot! Whatever you do, don't get mad at any of your family members, because if you get them upset about you scrapping, no one is going to help you. Pretty much all Ican recommend is to talk it out with your folks and be respectful to everyone. Try and see if you can get someone with a truck to help you haul it or if you can get the scrap yard to drop off a container. Also, if and when you talk to your folks, be calm and explain to them what exactly you are doing because they may not really understand what you are trying to do. Pretty much you have to be respectful just like what has been said earlier. These guys give good advice. Feel free to PM me bro.
