I'm involved with Boy Scouts, and we're called some of the best scavengers around. I'm also a purchasing agent so I can determine the best value for every dollar spent.

Develope contacts now, that might be useful later on. Work with other people in your profession or your business.

Another buyer can get me all of the used 55 gallon poly drums that I'd ever need. They had food grade ingrediants in them. A good washing and they are good to go. The local soybean plant will sell 100# bags for under $20.

You've got to look around your community and see what's available and how you can put it to good use.
