Phoenix in the house!!

What's goin on everyone?!!

My names Mitch and I'm a 25 yr old forklift operator for Costco. I've always been interested in turning other peoples junk into cash for myself and just recently found this forum.

I remember when I was a kid my dad used to get me and my brothers to smash cans for him. He would take us to the scrap yard with him and we would split whatever was made. $20 to a 10 yr old was no joke haha and that's where it all started. And Im pretty sure I'm not the only one who got started this way.

Currently I just go around to dumpsters after work and bulk trash pickup days and I want to find ways to make this more profitable. I'm not hurting for cash but anything extra is always nice and I figured I could save for a vacation or something.

Anyway, I look forward to gaining as much knowledge as possible and I'm dependent on all of you seasoned vets to help me out.

Thank you in advance!!

Hello, an welcome to the forums from a sandbar off the coast of NC.

You've found the right place to come learn about all things scrap related. Whether it's computers, hunks of rusty metal, scrapping cars, etc. We got it all.

Where about might you be from? If you don't mind sharing. Side note...Costco's snack bar is awesome. Send me a pizza slice! ;)
