Hi, guys. I have 7 years at a full-time job and work incredibly hard. I am a kitchen supervisor. The higher ups just recently told me that my hourly position has capped out and there is really no room for a raise.
I have been scrapping only what I could get for free for the last two years, part time. I took my time breaking down all types of electronics and really didn't have much luck. I also learned that TV's are not worth it.
I have found that auto parts like rotors and aluminum rims seem to be nice compact items that fit well into the back of my truck. Good weight for a small size. I drive a Ford ranger with a 6 x 4 ft. bed.
buying scrap from the local garages seems to be competitive. I am looking into other ways for obtaining metals. I put up a couple offers on craigslist to buy scrap from people and even do pickups. This way I hope to get more calls since craigslist is so competitive for free scrap removal.
I don't know that these are the most efficient ways to obtain metals but I have just recently gotten into actually "buying" scrap. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
