    Hello everyone!

    Hello! I have always been interested in scrapping. I love the idea of making money from other people's trash! Any suggestions (besides this forum) on getting started and learning the trade? I thank everyone in advance for their help!

    Welcome! Few tips to get started

    1. Know what your looking for, what value in the items. (i.e ferrous, non ferrous, resale items, Ewaste)
    2. Where are you going to find these items. I would come up with 4-5 different ave. to start with
    3. Have tools
    4. Where are you going to sell the scrap, ewaste, or resale.

    Just to get you started. But reading this forum is what you really should spend your time doing.

    Good luck


    To get you started
