transportation

We scrap because it's fun and it's great for the environment and economy, sure, but we also scrap because it makes us money. However, transportation costs can really eat into a scrapper's income. While it's impossible to mitigate scrapping transportation costs entirely, there are plenty of ways to reduce these costs. Reducing cost can be divided neatly into two key areas. Learning and thinking critically a bit about each area can save you a ton of money—meaning that you keep more of what you earn right in your pocket. These two areas are saving money while picking up scrap and saving money while selling scrap. Each is important, and each can be approached in its own way.
