im a newbe but really learn about this buisness. I really wana land construction compines, apartment complexs, auto shops, etc....... Any sugestions on how to do that. Id really like to get away from just driving down the road, wasting gas in hopes I find something on the side of the road. Also is it worth buying stuff to scrap?,
Dont waste your time. There isnt any money is this whole scrap metal thing.
better than being gainfully employed.
I just made 1400 in a week. Id call that money
What's your plan for doing that every week?
Yup I like money handed to me as well...any1 else?
Thats whay I posted the orginal post. Im doing my research so I can come up with a plan of action
You made 1400 last week just driving down the road and you wanna change that?
Naw not driving. Landed an a/c guy. Ive been scraplin a few years. I scrap it all......u
Truck and trailor
If you want to do consistant volume then buying it is the way to go.
Where would you buy from?
Who would you buy from?
Plumbing shops, appliance stores, HVAC companies for starters.
How would you approach them? What kind a deal would you try and work out. Can you make more money buy buying rather then just driving around
Talk to the manager, have a business card, offer them so much a piece and that you will pick them up every week.
Thanks for your input
Something I thought that to missouri and I think others fax in on it. just a feeling
To be honest in the early days we bought more shop scrap than anything else. Problem is now days in my area we have so many thieves that the materials disapear too fast and it isint worth it to the shop owners to keep it inside. We still have a few shops that we buy from when they get a good pile. The HVAC shops we got because we properly remove the referigrant and provide a certification for their records. I still recieve from 3 of them but only trailer loads at a time.
