    Scrap was not my day job But close enough

    I had taken a break from home painting work over the years , But in the end it is My Day Job & once more been painting last 3 years
    during some of my hiatus , I did scrap metal circa 2010 onward (also worked in a trash company )
    They were REAL loads , the envy of a packed rickshaw.
    I packed countless loads like - the game Barrel of monkeys - I hunted , No TV was left on the curb
    all vacuums at the curb taken , No dumpster not checked . destroying my Auto was par for the situation , busted windows . grime
    beyond cleaning mattered not . The day to day EARNING was all that I wanted . This life quest was not for just $20
    I had days of $500 $600 plus & many basic $150 , day in day out ( i did it ) I proved to myself it was profitable . I have to this day inventory
    for a life time . As long as I can lift I will scrap . But now that I rely on my Day Job ( painting) scrapping is more pleasurable , I pass by water heaters washers and other bulkier items .
    I develop loads that don't destroy my daily driver . I sell the dense higher value metal items that can be put in containers .
    Short steel is self explanatory . I know metal, what a gift .
    Long Live the scrap industry, as long as I can it will be in my life in some compacity maybe retirement income .
    Long Live the health to scrap Amen
    .

    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
