    got into it when i was a kid mainly getting alu in all sorts and small amounts of copper from the curbs that i took home cause it was cool looking and found out it was money and paid better than anyting i could do at 10years old. now i just bought a truck to start hauling more at a time vs. my car and working towards expanding to a large work shop as i use my small garage now. i get most stuff free but do go to auctions to buy sometimes get schooled because i do not have alot of cash but working on that as well to flip things faster to build the bankroll. i do tear everything down to the bare bones selling gears belts and such and now even on the medium and larger transformers i tear out the copper from even the windy bits since it pays more to than sell whole as dirty motors its alot of time spent but i want this to be my full time work and with more and more being tossed everyday my business grows slow but steady
