    I will take anything that a client offers, as long as it has value. But I don't seek out anything else specifically. Usually I get loads of steel when I am picking up computers from businesses because they have it laying around and I ask about it. Figure I'm going to the yard anyway with my empty cases. Recently I was picking up computers and the guy had a lot of steel shelving in their storeroom that he just wanted "gone". I obliged and now have great shelving in my storage area. He also has a huge cage system that they are replacing and I will be getting that as well (cages like you would find in a police evidence room).



    I am located in Newnan, and the yards around here don't pay great. The best, closest yard to me is in Carrolton, which pays the most and knows their stuff. I used to go to Jonesboro with large loads, but they stopped doing retail sales and only have large accounts now. I think their is another one up in Jonesboro, but haven't been there yet. I usually buy more stuff from them than I drop off lol

    yeah i haven't gotten to the stage yet of finding clients for anything. mainly in fear of somebody might actually give me more than i can handle seeing i dont havea truck at the moment and i am mainly scavenging lol. didn't know businesses really just wanted to get ride of computers and printers like that , but i guess if they dont have time to try to sell then its the next best thing just to make it disappear. I will have to find my own niche. maybe see if i can get a small harbor freight trailer for my camry lol.
