I wanted to take a quick poll for our members who own/operate a scrap yard or recycling center, or work for one.
We may expand the forum with new areas specifically for topics by members who fit this criteria.
Please take a second and vote on the poll :)
The result counts of this poll are public however individual users who voted are not.
What about "I may want to open a yard in the future?"
Added.
not sure how to classify myself. since I have about 1/4 acre of ewaste and people bring it to me as well as pick up I would be a small escrap yard ?
Are you classified as a scrap yard by your town / county? If not i would just say "want to open one, some day"Quote:

i want to open a salvage yard, does that qualify?
I will have to get back with you as I'm in the process of moving. Main house is done and now it's on to the garage/shop, shed and the side yard used for storage...if the EPA follows me over you can put me down as a yes.
My brother and I hope to expand our business one day to become a scrap yard
I operate a metal processing and refining company. We don't take public scrap, so I can't say we're a "scrap yard"
You'd still be in the 'recycling center' field. You own and operate a physical building that operates solely to do metal recycling right? It's not a backyard/storage unit operation correct?
I work and buy for a well known global recycler, if I was the owner I'd be on my yacht somewhere. Do I qualify? Do only thing is we have not gotten into ecycling. I'm trying to learn to be more of an asset when the inevitable comes.
