Thing is...when dealing with steel its hard to mass up but if you mass CU and AL then you can sell those to yards and or refinery. Working with AL can be very simple with the low melting point, you can melt like AL items and make bars that you can stack alot easier than the raw metal, so soda cans with soda cans one car frame and or motor block and stack them up and sell them by the pallet.



With copper find someone who pays very good and work out a deal with them, there is one guy on here who buys copper (recycling company) look into them.

E-waste not much needs to be said here as I am someone who you can work with and I will try my best to have you grow...the more you get the more I get an we all go home happy.

And so on..I think you get the drift.


For everyone else thank you all for saying what you are about me I just try my best and do what I can. Here shortly I will ask for anyone who feels good and or bad about me to wright a letter to me (by e-mail) and I would like to add it to my website.

Anyway if I can be of anymore help please let me know.
