At first my hubby didint even want to ride around in my truck if I had scrap in it and he said my garage looked like Sanford and son. But...then he went with me to drop off a load and saw the money handed to me and it didn't bother him so much after that and he actually now brings me stuff from work AND has hooked me up with a plumber who works with him and brings him scrap motors/etc all the time now for me to recycle!



I did try to explain to other family members and some were ''Cool!'' and some were just polite about listening I could tell. Most other folks don't mind I think because it HAS become such a big thing now and if it does bother them I don't let it bother me.

I look at it this way - It's a job and brings in money, it cleans up the earth and teaches my kids the importance of recycling and how it impacts the local economy while cleaning up all the messes my generation made lol, I'm my own boss can work from home which is important to me and it very simply keeps my hands and mind active. I don't care what other folks think, I will be paying cash for college for my sons this year, paid off a truck a year early with the extra income and some of the folks that look down on this can't say that and I dont' have the stresses associated with a 9 to 5.
