Trying to grow. Not scrapping much these days.
Mostly selling for more than scrap. Appliances, etc, you name it.
We get appliances thrown at us daily. WAYYY more than we can handle. Most scrappers in the area are dumb as white bread.
There is so much money to be made, but they all quit. I think the lazy virus is SUPER bad in this area.
Anyway...
Working out of a 5,000 sq ft building and busting out of the seems.
Looking at a 18,000 sq ft building tomorrow. The price is good per sq ft but HUGE in monthly payments.
Might be able to get it for $4,500 a month, maybe even less.
Move in cost is the biggest hurdle.
Here is the kicker....
We turn down stuff all the time, just no space. And we give all our scrap away, just no space and time.
We prob give away at least $300 a week in tin.... All non ferrous still included.
If we take more of the stuff people give us PLUS start recovering the non ferrous we would make $400-500 a week in scrap alone with minimal extra effort. Not even counting the good better than scrap stuff we are loosing out on simply because we can't handle the volume.
If we step up the game we prob could make close to the monthly lease in scrap alone in 3-4 months.
Everything else would be REAL money.
Crazy times.... Just had to vent and well, we will see what the realtor says tomorrow.
The owner would have to invest 50-100K to make it market ready (cold storage, food processing place).
We would take it as is.....
Kinda excited and kinda scared, lol.....
Man what could we do with 18,000 sq ft.....
