Slightly confused on some of the scrapping game:

I will try to answer by #



1 if your seeking broken or unwanted appliances leave your phone # at a few storage places! apartment complexes and on your Craigslist ad state that you do pay and what you pay . Paying will assure you the appliance if someone has one to get rid of and there are all these people that want it free , he will call you with hopefully 10 appliances and get $50 .these are the customers/clients you want . Bulk amounts will make the most sense for your time and money .just like it makes more sense for the guy with 5-10 appliances to call you instead of someone who will remove free .

2. craigslist let me start by saying I buy 100 things on craigslist for every 1 thing I sell on there . This is me thou . I sell on ebay if it's a worthy item everything else I take to auction houses or sell to flea market vendors . These being non scrap items . I get flagged like crazy on cr but that's because I buy video games and resell on ebay . My ad for scrap is titled

electronics recycling.cell phones,computers,servers . Ewaste
I then list my prices in my region . Cr is good for a few hits a week if your paying decent prices .but IMHO the best leads come from complete strangers when I'm out and about . Prob. Because I always have a load , I don't have my magnetic signs yet .( something you should look into after your coin is correct) people like to know who they are dealing with and what you do . Just be polite when your conducting business and you should do fine .

3. Services , that may generate leads but when I see these ads I think of people hauling trash from left over estates , yard sales .
If you have a auction house in your area , go in there and tell them about what you do and how you can help minimize the dumpster costs by hauling off any unsold metal or electronics . This has been my bread and butter from brass to bike frames , grills all kinds of unsold items that generate money on my truck and cost them money in their dumpster . Take a minute and view business from your clients perspective and you will know exactly how to approach people and say what they want to hear . How you can save them money. I'm still growing and things have been snowballin for me . I hope some of this helps , not sure about your area . Good luck!
