    Smile hi!

    i've been dumpster-diving for years, scrapping quite a bit, but the clutter is getting out of hand! i'm hoping to learn a bunch... pointers on some organizational skills would be way welcomed!

    Welcome. When considering organization, think vertical. Shelving, or tubs that will stack. Labeling is a must. Hope this helps. And read old threads! It's like dumpster diving you never know what you'll find, but without the smell. Good luck.

    Welcome to the party. What have you been doing in the past with all your scrap? If you have been doing this "for years" you have had to have some sort of way to organize your materials?

    i've been scrapping a little, but the only place that takes computer stuff in my area rips people off regularly!
    i've got a little over half an acre and i'm running out of room! every other year the county takes me to court so i can pay the $264 fine!
    my neighbors don't appreciate me at all for keeping the property taxes down! =)

    One thing I know we can help with and that is, we have a great group of buyers that will not rip you off. We have a lot of tips and tricks on all subjects of scrapping that you won't get anywhere else.

    The only other thing I can say is welcome and hope you have a thick skin.
