What started you down the rabbit hole of scrapping?

I drive a company truck around to 35-50 homes each day and scoop up the dog poop out of the yard. Been doing that for over 11 years now. One morning several years back I was reading a news article about copper, this was back when copper was skyrocketing... the article said that it was going to $5, maybe $10 a pound. I filed that "useless" information away & went on to work.

That day I was pulling through an alley to get to a customer's back gate. There, atop the trash cans, was a frayed, taped up extension cord. It didn't carry electricity anymore, but it sure did light up the light bulb in my brain!! LOL I thought, there's copper in that, and I don't know who or where, or how much, but someone somewhere will give me money for that extension cord.



I got on the internet & found a website called scrapmetalforum & the rest is history. History still in the making.
