Awesome!!!!

Again my thought was not so much to start or create a business to handle this (though keeping things out of the landfill and recycling is always a good thing) The pure viability seems like it falls...

Indeed...it was just a passing thought...something I felt the need to discuss. Just wondering with all the money that the "STATES" Involved are charging Mattress sellers where does it go? and who...

I have also seen some municipalities charging a $15 fee to dispose of them at landfills

I was surfing around today trying to find some options for mattress disposal/reuse etc, and found out that a few states have implemented recycling programs geared towards keeping them out of...

I have came across these before when taking apart old order processing units, like ones that were used to send and receive orders from one business from another. It was similar to a huge typewriter,...

It is truly insanity to watch them out there in the winter...DIE hard fisherman!

Oswego, right on Lake Ontario!

Had a simply beautiful day here in upstate ny and decided to hit the scrap yard for one last run, had been loading my trailer for a while and I was unaware that somehow one of my tires had gone flat...

Just out of curiosity I am in Syracuse 2 or 3 x a week, any chance of dropping them off, if not no big deal...just trying to make life easier and kill many birds with one stone!

I had a few buckets filled with cut up steel in them...just easier for transport

I have to admit the guy running the "Magnet" was like a fine tuned dancer....he even sucked up everything in the 5gals buckets I had leaving the buckets in place...to me that was just impressive! I...

Was almost worried when the trailer slightly lifted off the ground..LOL

Headed to the Yard this morning...squeezed in 2 quick loads for a total of $302....For 2 hours of work I am calling this a stellar day! Even managed to get the yard to unload me with the "Magnet"...

I went back and read my post title and was disappointed myself, leaving that elusive work "SCRAP" out can be a killer LOL

Loving when a projection TV turns into a microwave, rainbow E series in pristine condition, complete magnavox stereo (with turn table) , a dehumidifier (50 pint GE) and a gas weed whacker, kinda...

Exit plan..Plan B...

After a year plus of running my own business and seeing how things were moving or progressing in the market I had an opportunity to return to a previous employer whom had...

Ventured to the scrap yard yesterday and had a fantastic talk with the owner whom I had not seen in a while, upon pulling in I noticed huge amounts of scrap that people had just dropped out side the...

I am hoping that it will balance out nicely...Tis nice to always have the support of everyone on here!

Just a little update on my world and how I am getting to that next level...Been working for myself for the last 2 years and with the drop in scrap metal pricing I needed to make some positive choices...

I find it interesting I have been a member here for a while and have spent way more time reading learning and researching instead of hoping that someone else will do the "labor" side of things for...

Congrats on stepping to the next level!!!

I guess I am always looking at the upside...as people "give up" and drop out is just gives me more of an opportunity to accumulate more scrap etc...Suppose this has become a way of life for me as it...

I have seen similar ones that actually are picture frames the picture would have been placed in the left side with the larger opening. Pretty neat little item!

Exactly! And it is amazing how expensive some of these parts are "new" I figure if I can test them and they work i sell them with a 90 day warranty and everyone is happy.
