I started out "scrapping" houses ( architectural salvage ) at a young age during home remodeling projects during the early 90's . I sometimes stripped parts from cars that were left in the fields.
By the 2000's I was digging computers out of the trash, fixing them, and than reselling the units. I ( accidentally ) discovered E-waste was worth some $ after I threw out hundreds of units I could not salvage parts from.
The area I live in now-a-days is not good for "making a living" from scrap. It's a hobby.
