Most people consider it a low paying and not worthy but actually it's a very good business and you don't need a big investment for that and can be started at small scale and we can easily grow with time and is a profitable business if you can manage.

In my place, there are young people doing house-to-house to buy metal scrap, damaged appliances, slightly damaged refrigerators, washing machines, turbo, heaters, TV, and all that are no longer useful in a household. There are also buyers of empty bottles and damaged tires. I appreciate them because they are hard-working. I interviewed one where they sell those scraps. I have learned that there is a shop that buys scrap things. They earn thousands a month. They are able to pay their bills and buy new clothes and food.

What is the rate for scrap in your country, especially paper scrap. Here they are purchasing some newspaper scrap for approximately $.25 per kg and they resell it at a higher price.

I agree with you. My mom's friend's business is like this. He is so profitable in buying and selling scraps to others. Unfortunately, I do not have the chance to learn the business.

There are many ways to survive. Buying and selling of scraps can help the person to raise money for family's need to have something on their plates. They can also save if they want to. No more pride just to swallow it or the family will starve. Also there are shops that buy scraps. Their purpose is to recycle them.

There is a lot of money to be made in this business niche. However, a lot of people do not want to get their hands "dirty" in this business because they thing this is low-profile niche.

It looks like a low profile job but it's so much profitable that now many people are working in this business and they hire people to work for them and they only deal with big customers personally.

They not only recycle waste but they are able to find products available at a very low price in the form of scrap and can then use it to sell at a higher price.

I cannot really say much about this though cause there is so much i do not know or understand about this business but if people are into it then it should be lucrative to some extent.

In my country the scrap metal business has employed very many people. Those working on the collection of the scrap metal get their monthly salaries and get the help themselves and their families too.

Also in my place, there is a big warehouse that housed scrap materials bought in retail by many retailers. There are workers employed by the business owner. Every week, they transport the scrap materials to other cities needing them for recycling.

This business has really benefited many people in my country. It creates more jobs and employment opportunities for majority of the unemployed youth in my place. It's therefore seems very profitable in deed.

There is a lot of money in scrap and many people still throw away things thinking they are not worth or sell to scrap dealers at cheap prices but you can certainly make good profit from it

This can be a great business depending on the kind of product you want to sell as a scrap dealer. There are many scrap dealers who purchase expensive metals as well and they make good money of it.

in my place there is a lot of money to be made in this business but it is a dirty job so , a lot of people do not want to get their hands here
I am still struggling to understand the concept of dirty jobs when it can provide food on the table. Scrap dealing is a good business and it is highly profitable in my country.
