Well, I always thought it was cool when my mom would take in cans at the Reynolds aluminum trucks.
In middle and high school, I would go through the piles on big trash day to find whatever suited my fancy. My favorites being mowers and weedeaters that needed little to no work to use.
Last summer, we had furloughs at my work, and I decided to take in some metal for scrap. I found this forum and its been on like Donkey Kong since.
I like that I can do this as a productive hobby until I can dedicate more time to it.
I love hunting for scrap and resellables.
I love breaking stuff down, seeing how it works, and fixing stuff for resell.
I especially LOVE taking it in and getting cold, hard, cash in my hand!
I want to integrate this business into and alternative energy business. Solar heating products, retrofits, new energy ideas, permaculture, electric cars etc.
It absolutely kills me to see the stuff folks just throw away. Oh well, it benefits me, others, and the earth, to recycle and repurpose it.
Good thread DayV!
