    I agree totaly with mikeinreco. it takes time to bulid up your scrap contacts. It took me about 8yrs of doing this to get to the point im at now. But the contacts you want to make your not going to find doing street scrap. yeah sure someone will take your number and call you for a appliance, or a bike, or lawn mower for example but thats not really making any real money. You have to go to where the scrap is generated on a daily basis and hopefully one day you can become their scrapper. usually company's take their own scrap in or already have someone they work with but over time you can get your foot in the door. start small and work your way up the latter. no one starts out scrapping and makes descent money. Its hard work that many dont want to do. mabey we are all just crazy LOL Just have fun and be happy to get something for junk.



    But as Olddude once said..... "If someone says scrapping is easy, they aint doing it right."
