If you’re in the scrap metal business, you know the difference between a good day and a bad one often comes down to how well you sort, price, and negotiate. The problem?

Whether you’re running a small yard or scaling up, this book gives you the tools to streamline sorting, set profitable prices, and close deals like a pro—without the corporate bureaucracy.
