A scrap business is something in which one has to put hisown efforts, especially in the first step of the collection of scraps since it’sa tedious and challenging task too. One has to be very knowledgeable about theknow-hows of scraps and where to get them from. The next deciding factor offruitful business is the ‘scrap yard’ and how open it is to the customersaround.
