    Prepare to be able to sit on alot of material when needed. The Profit margin is not as high as everyone may think. If your going for permits be prepared to wait and spend even more money. You are going to want to get a junk permit, dismantlers and a scrap collector permit. Scales are essential to taking and selling material. The more material you can push the higher $ you will begin to receive. My suggestion is to run a backyard deal to get your feet wet. Depending on your location many permits must be grandfathered in and the town may not issue new ones. Buying power is key!
