The most advantageous place for the location of the metal receiving point is the private sector, as in the household, metal is always in abundance. This is not necessarily the area of ​​a large city, in small cities, as a rule, there are no less clients. The center of a large city is also a good location for a similar point. The leased area must be at least 20 m2 so that the accepted metal can be accommodated.

An even more profitable option is the location of the item in the area of ​​sea or river ports. Here, most often wholesale points are opened, because scrap in such places tinkers with cars.

Be sure to think about the place of wholesale distribution of metal accepted from the population.

Before opening a collection point, you need to buy a scale. If you are going to accept only ferrous metal, then you will need tonnick scales; to receive non-ferrous metal, you need to purchase switch scales with weights.

The metal reception center usually has only two people - a direct metal receiver and a sorter that can deal with complex installations, such as an engine. This unit, as a rule, contains a certain amount of non-ferrous metal. Despite the complexity of the work (and often have to work on a night shift), the staff is usually very fast, because with a good deal, the salary of the receiver can reach $ 300 per week.

The initial cost of opening this business could be around $ 2, 000. Annual revenue can reach $ 20, 000, so all costs can pay off in a few months.

note

Often this type of business is illegal and is not registered accordingly, which is why you can find points that accept metal mainly at night.
