    I have a job so this is not my main sorce of income. But I stuck threw these bad times. Getting large volume of material I wouldnt have gotten when the prices were 250-270 a ton for shred and everyone and there mom was out scrapping. I flip my steel as it takes up to much space and hold onto copper, wire, brass and cash some in here and there when i get half a pick up bed full of cans. I gained a auto body shop as his guy stopped answering his phone. Also scored a machine shop. They keep the good stuff but i still get the steel, but some times there is some alum or brass in the mix. I never thought of the amount of appliances there were at curb. co now that everyone quit scrapping. Before it was a washer or dryer once every couple of months, and now its like 3 or 4 a week. Same with gas grills. lucky to find a few a year and one night last summer i found 5 in one area. Prices are starting to rise so ive been seeing other guys starting to go around again and the cord cutters are back at it. we all love those cord cutters.
