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.
Skip " rats " 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
Skip " rats " There's a lot of people doing it round my way up and down the back lanes all day it good money
Skip " rats " 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?
