Here’s a guest post from Felicia Woodall who writes at Copper Prices Today.
Many people claim they can not find work today, that there are no jobs available. If you can not find work have you ever looked into the price of copper? This may sound odd because if you have no work why would the price of copper matter, you can not buy copper. The point is you could start finding scrap copper, not stealing but asking for it perhaps.
People have new plimbing done, and air conditioning units put in all the time and they have copper in them. You could ask for the old unit or wait for them to take it to the scrrap yard then go through it. Copper is selling currently for around $3.30 a pound, thus if you find a few pounds you can make a few bucks.
Not only can you check the scrap yard when someone you know has thrown something with copper in it away, but you can cheak it regularly for all the other people who may be doing the same thing. Most people will not go through old plumbing or conditioning units for copper, and this will be to your gain. It is possible to find amounts of copper everyday, and selling it for money is a little extra money in your pocket.
You will need a few things in order to pull off a copper scraping endevour, such as your own transportation. Not only to make it to the local scrap yard and back but to cheak out the local neighborhoods for anything on curbs. With the current price of gas walking or riding a bike may seem like a better plan. You will not find something everday but if the transportion does not cost you anything then nothing is lost.
Finding a local recycling area for copper is as easy as looking in the phone book. You may need to cut your copper pieces into smaller pieces for transporting, then you can place them in larg plastic bins. Take your scraps to the local recycling area and earn your money, it is that simple.
You can also make money with silver prices.
