Should you pay for your scrap appliances/and just plain scrap????

the problem i have is that since im a small op- one man show
the big companies are all contracted to big, established scrap companies who leave a big steel skip at their premises

they charge them a fee for the skip- i suppose
and the scrap in it becomes all profit

ive contacted them
most dont reply
those that do say they already deal with their "preferred" ompany

also, at other companies, the staff take all the scrap for themselves
i was offered to pay for full van loads of scrap from a big container & transport company but i know the guy will be doing this WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE & APPROVAL OF HIS BOSSES
NOW THATS STEALING

its so tempting but i dont want to do that stuff.



im a bit depressed cos my van was at the mechanics all week
i had one guy from an auto shop ofering me a load of stuff-but he wanted it gone ASAP
i got my van back now & when i contacted him saying i will be there tmrw- he replies that he gave all away today

Manufacturing facilities are not your best bet. Look for office type environments, service/repair shops, small retail shops, and of course thrift stores. The possibilities are endless.
