    Brand new scrapper

    I just discovered this great buisness two weeks ago and all im doing right now is off the curb picking. I've picked 4 tvs, and a bunch of computer stuff. Open to any suggestions about where to get scrap or anything .
    Thanks TI

    Hi! I heard that you can get some stuff from yard sales, but you need to know how much your yard is buying that product for. Oh, and take the computers/TVs apart they have different types of metal in them.

    -Have fun!

    A great place I found is my local thrift stores,I deal with the three in my town. I offered to make them a zero waste facility free of charge so that means I get there electronics,paper,cardboard,cell phones,clothing and just about anything that they can throw at me and it has paid off real well for me because there is a market in it all. Check your local area for buyers on the other stuff that I have mentioned. One mans trash is another mans riches...

    Stop take a deep breath. Then read for 2 solid days. Take the TVs back where you got them, keep the computer stuff. By the time you get done reading you wil know why.
