1. How are you going to make money off the 1000's of tubes that I'm going to send you for free? If each tube is 20 pounds, won't it cost you $2.20 to send to NuLife? (10,000 tubes @ 20 pounds a piece is $22,000)
2. Isn't Uncle Sam the only one to make money at tax time?
3. Will a building made out of pallets meet the requirements of the NYS Building code?

I'm scratching my head too.

Logan, Matt or whatever your name is...reading over your old posts I'm can see that you are eager to get things going but lack experience in many areas that are going to set you up for success. I caution you to not bite off more then you can chew and keep costs down to a minimum until you are certain you can make a living being a profession scrapper, recycler, dismantler.

Rhetorical Question...Last month, after expenses, did you clear enough money (net profit) to pay at least half the bills in your household and have spending money? If you didn't I wouldn't be renting, building or buying much other then basic tools to get basic jobs done.

It's Matt. I've always signed as Matt and never by my username. That was the idea: start out small and work my way up but I choked. Problem I'm having is the public want to sell their broken stuff and expect to get retail for it, then when someone like myself comes along, expect me to pay retail for their broken stuff and then get upset when I tell em it's not worth it. I was sure this E-Scrap law would change things in favor of scrappers but it feels like it hasn't done anything but give residents a challange on how to hide their E-Scrap in the garbage.

My idea was that if I could get EPA registered, it would show these people that I'm not some joe on the street. Once that thought got into my head I had a what if: 'what if someone calls and says they have 5+ pallets of stuff they need to move', which lead to me looking for a building. When I realized an actual building was going to cost an arm and a leg, I decided to go back to basing everything here out of the house, which lead me back to square one as I have two options: build/buy a building to have installed on the property, or use the basement. Using the basement would allow me to have 10 gaylords for CRTs, and 3 for metal, plastic, and aluminum. If I built the building myself it would allow me to have 8 gaylords for CRTs and 3 for metal, plastic, and aluminum.

To anwser your question Kz, every trip I made last month was enough to cover gas and that was it so no profit.
