Scrap Metal - That is my subject today. It may not be sexy but it pays cash today.

Scrap metal is maybe the best little secret of the junk removal business.

This is a pile of Aluminum scrap I took in (Notice the smaller pile closer to the camera from of the bigger pile) it came from a mobile home we took down, this was about $300 dollars. I took this with my small dump truck. (shown below) (I bought this truck cash from by largest scrap metal pick up to date, it was big and we split a large amount of money I did the work at my expense, we split the different scrap.) That's a story for later.....

By the way that is a whole tractor trailer - trailer about a 45 footer, cut up and heading for the scrap yard. You might be shocked to hear how I cut it up with an ordinary tool. This truck is more or less an over-sized heavy duty pick up truck. Came from Disney World.


 The scrap metal you encounter will be plentiful, the key is to know the basics of the scrap metal business. You don not need to be an expert do make decent money with scrap metal. Most scrap metal brings in the 10 cent range, I have been paid as low as 8 cents a pound and as much as 13.5 cents a pound. When we are working at a warehouse location a dumpster provided by the scrap yard is the best way to get the scrap to the yard.

In this picture I have I am guessing $200 or so for the scrap on this trailer. To me its really just free money its stuff we get in the normal function of our scrap and demolition business.

So just a small overview of the scrap business as it relates to the junk business.

Have a great day post what you want to know and I will do my best to help out. 

Logan and David

Work from home for yourself, Get Junk Free! Sell It For CASH!!!! Where and How?

So Logan and I move back to Cape Coral, Fl from Tampa, Fl. Mainly to learn a computer software program for a friend of mine that was thinking her job might be close to an end she is a speaker for one of the big names in the Real Estate Guru world. She wanted me to learn the system, for prospecting for Real Estate investors, and finding properties for investors, it was called the SIMMS system. The idea was if her job ended it would be a quick move into the RE wholesale business. Its in this system, I learned a few of these tricks I have used to promote this Junk business.

In Tampa we were mainly having large yards sales up, and doing odd jobs to make money. We were getting the stuff to sell from all the foreclosure set outs, and driving around on garbage day.

When we came back to Cape Coral I was on the computer most all day for weeks learning this program. I had a cheap place to stay, however I had Logan in a private school And need to make more money without taking time away from the training. I hesitating about going back into the RE business, I was certain the market was going to crash again.

I was getting a small wage each week, however it was not enough to live on and pay for the schooling. So one day, coming back from lunch, I was driving down the street and I see this like new couch on the street in front of an expensive house, I could not believe the condition. I pulled over, was shocked to see both the condition and it was still a current style and color. This was confirmed by the speed in which it sold. I put in the back of my Ford explorer, got back to the house and took a picture put it on Craigslist and it sold that afternoon for $100.

So that's more or less the start of this junk business.

I would go out after Logan went to bed, I would leave at 10:00 PM and be back by 12:00 PM, most nights with a trailer and suv full of Junk/stuff to sell.

I got a garbage route map from the city and I drove it picked up stuff, and sold it the next day, sorted and stock piled the metal.

Limited space taught me quick what would sell and what would not. These are things I want to share with you. I learned how to maximize limited space, I wanted to work form home and most of all for myself. This started off as a way to get back into Real Estate. This business is addicting, fun, interesting and profitable.

Below is pictures of stuff we picked up for free or were paid to take away - all things from the last few days...............

Real life Junk = Money....It gets better and better every day..........

The information I am going to promote comes from my experiences over the last few years with the Junk Business, basically how to get people to pay you to come and get the stuff that you are going to sell via, craigslist and ebay. What to sell, what won't sell, but will burn up your limited space. The how when and why and how someone can make money today with the stuff in their closet or garage, how to run free ads to fill up the garage with stuff that will sell quickly and with little money. Can make a few extra bucks with little effort, you can support your family with this quickly or make it into a fun full time local wealth building system. These all this week!!! Not a normal week but it does happen.....I am going to keep the RV!!!
