I'm just getting started in scrapping. So far, $300. I see it less as a way to realize profit but more as a way to satisfy my desire not to let resources and potential wealth go to waste. Plus, it's fun.

What I've come to appreciate is that it all adds up, as long as you keep saving.

I'm still curious to see what other people make...anyone?

Very good but here in CA.scrap yards are thinking of paying with checks to curb theft.That means the government will know how much you make and tax you

In the last year I've made about 3 or 4 thousand dollars scrapping.

It is just a matter of time till we are 1099ed on our scrap proceeds. I like that Ohio still pays cash!

just a check? lol

last time I turned in some scrap (i only do it about twice a year.. < $500 a year)
unloaded my copper and aluminum, it was separated, weighed and catagorized.. and a ticket was printed
that I had to take to the office window. A lady there required my ticket and valid gov ID which she scanned onto her computer.
she gave me an ATM card and directed me around the corner..
popped in the card and smiled for the camera and it spat out my money.

how's that for curbing theft.>>>Gov. knowing everything? lol
(I assume the thieves don't go to this scrapyard)
