    Hello

    Hi everyone, PG here, from WI. I live in a medium sized town flourishing with people trying to make a buck recycling metal. My last job was delivering pizzas, took a couple pay cuts over 6 years, got real angry, then got fired. This anger subsided into a desire to work for myself, and earn my own money. I've had a couple of ideas on how to make money, some legal and some not, and to my satisfaction, recycling metal is where my focus presently resides. I enjoy the fact we are not only keeping metal out of the dumps, but getting paid to do it. And the reduction in mining needed because of metal recycling is also a huge positive.

    Scrapping cars and government surplus auctions is my current plan of attack. After I invest in the tools I need I hope to start working towards generating a larger amount of capital so I can bid on the larger government auctions. But I'm starting small and broke, so money coming in currently is going toward a bench vice, a car trailer, and a wire stripping machine.



    Look forward to chatting and learning with you guys.

    Welcome Peter. I sure am glad you chose a legal way to make money. And it sounds like you have some good goals laid out already. I hope that reading through the archives here is one also. I wish you the best as you embark on your new career, and I look forward to hearing of your progress.

    Good luck P.G
    In life we all have spent money on things that don't bring about income . Money spent to manage metal so you have an end result - taking it to yard for $$ - is good money spent
    Once more good luck on your progress.
