Not always true. Winter in Michigan definitely proves challenging at times. I have an indoor facility and primarily deal with escrap. With the exception of the trailers i am rarely digging things out of the snow. If you can acquire some office buildings and similar style contacts you can do quite well.
That's exactly what I'm trying to do right now. If I can find a way to get myself through the winter and it goes well, then I might quit the 9-5 in the springtime. I know that spring/summer can and will be good, it's late fall and winter time in upstate NY I'm worried about. It really all depends on how many regular pickups and I can nail down, either in general scrap or eWaste. I need consistency.
