      Are you or do you know of any one who is a skip rat, you now someone who roots thro dkips for stuff.

      The reason l ask this is because l think for the last 25 yrs l have missed out on a few tricks here.

      In my job l have spent yrs just dismiised the scrap etc coz l xouldnt be ar*ed but the father in law has been rooting thro the skips where he works as there are restoration works going on and he's bagged himself £485 in 3 weeks from the scrap in them !!

      I am having a total re think here TBH.

      My brother works as a plumber and salvages everything he can. From cooper wire and cap ends to vanity units and rads. He says he prob makes/saves 6-7k a year.

      From job to job by keeping hold of 'waste' he can use it on the next job or sell it on

      So your thinking about starting stealing?

      edit: are we talking just rubbish skips thats going to waste, or actual scrap metal skips that people will be filling up to sell to scrapman themselves?
