Hi, I drive around town and pick up free Craig's list stuff I also advertise and people call me to pick up items. I take them home and process them Then load up my dump trailer with steel until it is full and take it to a recycle yard. I do this from my home. I have about 1 acre lot and it is dirt at the bottom where I disassemble and sort to get the copper and aluminum and stainless steel out of appliances. The county tells me I can not have a scrap metal business in a residential area. This is the 2nd warning now I have a $100.- dollar fine and it will keep going up if I do not comply. To me this is just a hobby for extra cash, I possibly earn $500 a month, probably less if I count all my expenses. So I do not think it can justify renting space to disassemble stuff. I enjoy it and really do not want to stop. I want to see if any other members have problems with neighbors calling the city or county on them and how they resolved the issue? Thanks David
