Distence your self from the rest!!!!!!!

Well when times are as they are now, no jobs or low paying no where dead end jobs, men and women alike will seakout ways of providing for there family's. Scraping is one of those ways and a good way to put the bread on the table, the competition for scrap increases and profits shrink.I have been in the scrap business for thirty plus years well now that I think about it closer to fourty years, and my father was a scrap man when he had a horse named Lacy that pulled his wagon. Well before computers or the new different types of materials that are being recycled today for profit.I believe that having a nitch in this business separates the more successful scrapers from the rest, if you are in the e- waste end, or the a/c recycling, or the alternator starter compressor end, or just the white goods part of the business try specializing in one or two aspects say rebuilding a computer tower,or sell the alternators to a core buyer instead of the scrap yard, or just striping all the nonferrous out of a fridge rather than just dumping it off in the tin pile
We know that it's a daily struggle to get a load on the truck every day, and you pick up all and any scrap to make the day, but always try to go back to your specialized area it will make you more money and give you a reputation in your area so that people will look for you when they have that type of scrap.We specialize in a/c recycling and have a good rep for that in my market but we will also pick up the white goods every chance we get.I hope this tread makes sense to you, find your niche and run with it happy scraping.
