    Maybe it'll pan out, possibly big score.

    Up till now I've been getting some misc. scrap a little at a time. Today I get a call from one my old customers (few years back) telling me that he has two trailer loads of scrap for me. We're going up tomorrow with 2 trucks to pick it all up. Might have to make a second load with the big truck. From what he explained there is 2 full sized refrig. a floor freezer, 4-5 small apartment refrig.
    other misc. metal and 2 pallet loads of computer equipment and business phones, and other electronics.

    Don't know if I'll have time to take pictures but we'll see what happens. Last big one (for me) was that buyout of the computer store basement. And that was 2 truckloads of computer gear. Couple of years back. We must have done a good job for this to be a repeat customer. Even if your not a business, act like one. Be polite when talking to them on the phone, if you tell them you'll call back, then do it. And don't make a mess. I'll update this when I get it all home.
    PS; And don't forget to have plenty of business cards to hand out every where you go.
