Trying to collect escrap. Where's the best place to get it?

Webuy has a good point. You gotta sell yourself to them, an your service to get it free. Or heck even cheap. Heh. I dislike sales, but it's part of the game. Yep they sure can take it to the dump themselves, but they gotta pay gas to do it, unload it themselves, etc etc. Gotta love the lazy factor. An yes..I play the lazy card on people, cause you can tell the folks who don't want to do the work. Mr. 9 to 5 banker isn't going to get his hands dirty taking a water heater to the yard. Lest not the typical one. Same with the Cubicle warriors. Most don't want to deal with it, an will gladly pay or give it to you free if you sell it right.



Being personable will help you in the selling your service area. If you don't like chatting folks up, work out a pay sheet. A little personality can get you a whole lotta stuff.

An I still stand by $1 per phone, not lb..is a bad thing. Unless your getting stuff for resale. Your results may vary.

I'm new but learning quick, Dumpsters, side of the road are good places to start, but people seem to be afraid of just throwing out electronics...especially computers. I've found the best places are peoples homes. My family has old computers from the 80's, I just went around asking them if they had old Computers, Printers, Scanners, Hard Drives, CD/DVD Roms, Floppy Disk Drives, and even Ink Cartridges. You would be surprised at the amount I came up with, Right now I'm researching each computer components to see if anyone wants them whole before I tare them down for scrap metal. Good Luck
