introduction / my niche $500-$2k in a week.

I have been scrapping on and of for years as a side hustle. Now i tried to post an introduction few days ago but i dont think admin let it through so i´ll tell you guys what i´ve been doing in this sub.



I´ve been sending dated flyers to private households suburb by suburb for weekend collection. 2k-4k flyers printed and distributed is around €200-€300. i send out the flyers a week prior to collection date in the suburb so people have enough time to clean their yard and collect all metal into one pile. Pick up scrap in weekends and separate/clean/monetise during the week. The reason i go suburb by suburb instead of undated flyers to whole city is making sure all scrap is close together so with one truck i can empty 5-10 households in 1 hour and not lose on fuel driving from one end of town to another.
usual yeld is around €500-€1500 scrap plus some odd items worthy of sale. Thing is unless you hire couple guys so you can do multiple towns at once its limited income(which is why its my side hustle). If this strategy could help you where you live i´m happy to share my tips and knowledge as long as you dont live in the same town as i

Now during my scrap runs i have noticed few areas where scrap yards are losing money. What brings me to this forum is to do a bit of a market research to make sure whether my strategy to move up the ladder would actually work in the real world. May be im missing something and i´d be chasing my tail for a few years while trying to execute my ,,great lucrative plan´´
