    You need a garden waste removal sideline, don't know if you watch GD & sons where he scraps, waste removal and cleans driveways... to name 3 things he does. How about a lawn service.. buy a ride-on like scrapfarm has, 2 acres is $300. Window cleaner is another thing. My window cleaner is done in 2 mins, water, soap everything in the van.. charges £5 for the front. House clearance is another thing. Contact the relevant local councils and put yourself forward for contracts. Always looking for people to clear fly tippping.. contact relevant offices. be happy.

    It must be frustrating not having storage/somewhere to work out of.
    That would open up reselling.
    I’m sure a lot of what you throw away at the scrap yard works.
    If you offered delivery at a small cost you could combine it with scrapping.

    Start collecting pallets as well Vandal, money in those as well. Also items thrown out & discarded, (not scrap), which are serviceable can be sold on.
    I came across 50 bamboo canes & over 20 large plastic plant tubs last week & they sold. It all mounts up. Best of luck to you 👊

    Don't give up vandal. You are your own worst enemy. Keep striving forward. If you do go on to other ventures, don't totally give up the scrap game. It's how a lot of us found you in the first place and came to care about you. When your new ventures take off, throw us a bone now and then with a scrap run.

      I still have the allotment but I think I will need to let it go as it requires 2 things I don't have, time and money. The future plans at the moment is to get the van paid off and start saving for a unit or some kind of place to work from and make noise lol.

    perhaps start a local Forum, to bounce off ideas. I offered some small bits of metal, *some from a local fly tip) to another tube blogger, and they didn't even answer my email. They frequently state they offer the best prices, but not to me. Its not easy getting a business off the ground or maintaining one.

    hi mate, i used to do the scrap metal , but i had side earners on the side. i had a contact for flatscreen tvs (five pound for up to 32inch and ten pound for over 32 inch)
    also i had a contact for push bikes, i would collect them in my garage and a guy would come and give me a fiver or tenner a bike depending if child or adult. this extra money would push my income up to 1000 a week, ask some questions in your area to see if there are contacts like that for you to exploit.
