    Talking Hello from Alberta Canda

    Hello, how is everyone doing. I'm new to this site, although I had thought that I joined a while ago but I guess I didn't. Ive been scrapping for a little over a year now and enjoy every minute of it, although I took a bit of a break from it over the winter. Metal prices were very low and I was barely making enough to cover my gas. I use a place here called "Pacific Steel & Recycling", with a full truck load I was barely making 20 bucks, and that just didn't do it for me, especially since I was barely making enough to cover gas. I have a friend in Sudbury, Ontario and he makes about $65.00 a truck load with basic appliances. You might have watched him on Youtube, the Lazy Scrapper? Anyways I'm hoping to find ideas on this site for better ways of scrapping. It looks like a great community

    Welcome and it sounds to me like you need a lot better yard to sell to, if your only getting 20.00 for a truckload of steel.
    I just got 26.00 for only 260 lbs. And I'll bet you did not even get a kiss.
