Do your math before picking up scrap metal

Sometimes it is worth losing money on a deal for the PR and advertising. I am heading out this morning for a job that is an hour and a half away one way to pick up and cut three loads that will be hauled 40 miles. This will take me two days and net profit will be about zero. The benefit - this is an irrigation company that hires me to disassemble all of their units and the previous and future profits from this contact are well worth the sacrifice.

True! Also if you do a good job they will recommend you to other people!
I am calculating very careful when buying e waste! As you can see in my video below I am buying only the categories from what I can get a bit of profit
