    As a hobby it can be profitable. For a business venture it is more about your operation. Driving around looking for towers in the garbage may not be the best business model. However if you can position yourself as a solution provider then you have a business. This is the direction I am heading. I will be spending my time working to build relationships that will produce large numbers of electronics. My first small email campaign went off well. I got a call from a hauling company and will be buying several gaylords of stuff. I just posted for someone to make a recurring pick up in Reading out of my area, first load 11 towers, various parts, and several monitors. I love driving for dollars, I ws on a grill streak of seven in seven days! I have to ask myself, what is the best use of my time? I believe I can create an email list and send out 100 emails in a couple hours. Even a small response rate leaves me with a recurring monthly pick up. Week after week the route grows. In time I may have a drive shredder, wire granulator, fork truck, etc. For now it's just me and my Ford.
