    There are different ways of scrapping , I saw a post from PistoneScrapProcessing of a locomotive scrap project .Thats what is great about the forum how we really have different - social classes of scrappers - but we meet here and we are the same . Now back to the way of scraping, I welcome the drive - the drive exposes me to the - curb - the untapped dumpster ( metal mix with normal trash ) the TV on the side road ETC. That is the whole game plan 7 days a week i go to the yard big orders and small I will go for $30 but I count on finding scrap one way or another & it seems to happen .The math works out a ride to the yard @ $30 can net you $70 to $100 for the next day. Be strategically have the $30 day to allow you to hit the evening before garbage day at the curb (save on fuel ). The best is heading down with a small load early and finding metal .One sure consensus is when you stay home you find ZERO .
