Hello all, Beginner here

Hello.

I just started getting into scrapping in the last month. I have broken down 2 computers so far (an old one I had and one my boss gave to me). I have been trying to read as many threads as possible around here, and have learned a lot so far! I had no idea almost every part has some form of value. Also added an old cell phone and broken kindle to the scrap pile, and found a broken GPS in my apartments garbage.

I plan on mostly sticking to electronics because I have a car only and live in an apartment. So no garage I have started saving my beer cans in a bucket, i figure I can turn these in with aluminum I get from computers/electronics.

I haven't payed for any scrap yet but have posted some things on Craigslist looking for towers for $4. Got some responses but mostly people wanting to sell stuff for more than scrap value.



I live in a college town and it is move in season soon, so I am hoping I can make some good finds!

Welcome to the forum. You found the right the right place to expand your scrapping adventures. Good luck.

Couldn't you rent a storage container for space? And there are several items worth snatching besides electronics. Plenty of armchairs are aluminum. Those big propane grills are cast aluminum, take it off the base and pop it in the back. You could even fill it with smaller items when transporting. Like broken lawn chair bits..or those cans you were talking about.

Think bigger.
