    I have been a full time scraper for 25 years,the main thing about scrapping is to have a steady flow of material,we do a lot of commercial a/c units IN Seasson but you have to eat every day,the body shops i have keep the money rolling every week the profit is not as good but you can still eat,if you want to work 40 hours a week this ain't for you,when its slow we work more not less,we do all kinds of scrapping the e-waste is just another thing we do besides junk cars,a/c's, body shops,industrial accounts,and any thing else that comes along.One thing I would recommend is start to put a retirement plan together when you are young,To be honest with you,my friends that took city jobs and retired after twenty years are better off than me
    Oh well live and learn,I will be scrapping till i can't scrap no more,because i have to!!!!!
