Couple of things happening in the scrap business these days. Because of the economy this forum and the number of scrappers has at least doubled if not more in the last two years also people are not throwing away things like they used to because they can't afford new stuff.
Problem:
1. total volume of scrap is down.
2. scrap price is down.
3. competition is up.
4. some haven't recovered from winter yet. I'm in Florida, and, they had 2 inches of snow 60 miles north of me last night.
Solutions:
1. expand your scrap area. When the grass gets thin open another pasture.
2. look for additional types of scrap.
3. break down your scrap and increase your income.
