Junking for a Living. Make money off of junk

Scrap metal can pay very well depending on the type of metal and the quantity.

Probably the best metal to recycle that comes from home and businesses is copper. Copper pays well compared to scrap or tin metal. Its also pays more than other well paying metals such as aluminum,stainless,or brass. This can change over time depending on demand but has steadily been paying more over the past few decades.

If you read a newspaper or watch the news you will often see stories of homes being broken into and the thieves removing the copper pipes used for plumbing. This is a big problem for new homes builders and the new homes being built since they are often left unlocked and unguarded.

To make good money off scrap you should go looking for accounts with local businesses that do generate scrap. Some good choices would be metal manufacturers - those who make metal products of any kind, trucking companies, grocery stores, repair stations, inspection stations, and schools just to name a few.

Junking for a Living is possible with a steady influx of junk. You may want to start off doing this just part time or for some extra money.
