    Scrap Metal Pickups for the Win.

    Hey all, about 3 weeks ago I decided to post a craigslist ad for a scrap metal removal service. Since then I have had over 15 pickups! I didn't realize how much success ads on craigslist have. The next step is to do a set of flyers. Does anyone have any advice on a good flyer strategy? thanks.

    Can't speak to flyers but have had significant success spending $30 or so to get a bunch of business cards made at Staples. Congrats on your success on Craigslist!

    Scrapping in respect to loading truck is hard work As long as the will is there to load

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
