Hello Scrap Metal Forum. My Introduction.

My name is Amanda. I am 45 years old. I live in Goldsboro, NC. I don't really do 'scrapping' as a job but I am on a fixed income and it does seem like I am always bringing something home that I found in the trash or someone gave me. I first try to see if whatever it is can be used and/or sold. If not, I add it to my pile of stuff to dismantle. I drive a 2010 eton Beamer III 50cc Scooter so I can't really take much at a time myself. I have many bags and a few boxes around the apartment and while I am sitting around, I strip stuff and separate it into these for easy travel. I found you guys by googling "Can I burn plastic tape off of copper wires". I got a couple of good ideas from what I read and wanted to read something else but I wasn't registered, so here I am.

I wish you good hunting,

Good afternoon Amanda!

Thanks for inquiring as to the legalities of different scrapping methods, before just 'going for it'. A lot of folks don't, and a lot of folks can either get in big trouble, or get sick or injured because of it.

Looking forward to seeing you are the Forum.

Thank you. I think it has something to do with a few things: finding treasure (others don't see as treasure), being able to dismantle stuff, and of course extra money.

I appreciate it. I've believe you as I've already learned quite a bit that you just don't know until you start doing it.

Ty but I have to admit I've been just 'going for it' for a while now. I only asked this time because some of these copper wire casings and/or other material attached are like trying to pull eye teeth getting off so I am trying to come up with a better way.
