Do you just drive around looking for scrap or do you have clients you pick up scrap?

I am a retired professional that started scrapping as a full time hobby. I do not advertise except by word of mouth and do not look for scrap, yet have more than enough business to be full time and support my family. The reason for the business without a lot of effort, I am doing something others do not want to do and love it. The type of scrapping I do is dangerous sometimes.



Hippo and Swampy provided some excellent advice, if a person wants to transition from a day job to full time scrapping. To briefly answer your question, take small steps and try many strategies. When one is successful, jump for it. Continue to try other ideas and you will know when you are ready to expand.
