    I got to hand it to you Russell, you have what seems to be a very well thought out, classy looking Brand that I'm sure you will execute with precision and never look back. Best of luck to you.

    Excellent! Very nice!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    If you don't mind me asking where did you purchase that trailer, and did you have to get custom side extensions? AlSo, does the dump fuction work when fully loaded?

    Any possible resale on the sign? People go crazy over any signs...

    Armstr8, business increased greatly over last year; it will need to increase again next year. There is a great deal of competiton in this area for any kind of business.

    DevintheScrapper, I purchased the trailer at a local trailer dealer.The 6' sides and tool boxes are custom fabricated. The dump function works fine as long as the battery is charged (learned that the hard way). She will tip 10k, although I've never put more than 6k in it. The sign was scrapped it took up too much room and fetched a nice penny as it was made of alum.

    Taterjuice, we are a full service junk removal co. We charge for our services generally. Scrap has become more of a byproduct for us. We do try to seperate ourselves by our name. It took quite a while to think of a name that would work, the logo and name we feel are our greatest asset besides our experience in a: scrap b: furniture / appliance removal experience. We feel like we live up to our name!

    Blast from the past...Years ago,Junk Butler started out with a $600 trailer and a friend's vehicle.


    some cheap and quick modifications later...


    We quickly refabricated the trailer with profits.



    Truck Upgrade
    [URL=http://s1147.photobucket.com/user/scrapman77/media/IMAG0738_zpseb1e444c.jpg.html][/URL
    New trailer with handmade fabricated sides.

    Shortly after suffered total loss of the trusty power unit.


    Came back stronger and better.


    Professional trailer mod.

    Hey Butler, new the forum but been doing a lot of digging. I thought I recognized the areas in the photos. You're in Schaumberg? Do you ever get out further into the northwest suburbs? Moved to Woodstock a couple years back from TX. Don't know if your a one man show or not but if you're ever around I'd be happy to help ya out.

    Hi
