    New person needed guidance ?

    Hello me and my friend are from Sydney we are both 15

    We were talking today about making money considering we aren't as wealthy as other people we know, we did all the applications for major shops etc and always interviews but nothing

    He told me hes uncle is into selling scrap metal to dealers, and we thought hey why not give it a go when we turn 17

    Hes uncle said he will give my mate the van for free when we turn 17

    Can we pick up random scrap we find down the road and the surrounding areas



    Does it pay good ?

    Can we also take kitchen appliances we manage to find? taps, bath tubs etc

    Thanks

    Welcome to the Forum. The short answers are "Yes, Yes and Yes". Start reading old threads and you'll get more detailed answers.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    you have a lot of time to learn and all the information is here. Once you start reading you'll probably want to get started sooner though. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

    And heck, if they have a lot of space they could start gathering stuff now to stockpile or have a parent turn in for them.

    Nice to see young folks with their thinking caps on!
