We are a bit out of the way for the general public, but I pay more than all the in-town yards for folks willing to make the drive.

I've been in the scrap business for about a year and a half, always looking to learn so I figure these forums would be a good place to do some reading and hopefully contribute/help others along the way.

Welcome!I am located in Yakima and have been actively seeking an outlet which pays decent.(As long as it is more than Pacific or any of the other thieving local yard) Enjoy your stay.There is a lot of great info here.
