    Talking Just Joined

    Hey,

    I just joined yesterday as I am just beginning to like this business. I am only 15 but don't let age put you off!

    I basically got interested when I began taking apart my parents old and broken appliances as they were throwing them out but I thought why not just take them apart and then put each material separately in the recycling bin. Then I realised there was money involved in metals I was extraction from various items.

    So far I have stripped smaller appliances like lawnmowers, strimmers, deep fat pan fryer and I also bought myself a pair of wire strippers so each appliances and cable I have been keeping the cables and extracting the copper/aluminium from them.



    I look to in the future use the metal business as my way of income as I already have two interested friends who would help me in this.

    Thanks for reading guys!

    Welcome to the Forum, Dawsey. Don't worry about age - I'm 62 and they haven't thrown me off, yet.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
