I am thinking about going around to my local auto repair shops and see if they had any junk metal, batteries etc they wanted to get rid of and set up a scrap route I was wondering how often do you usually go on your scrap routes? Also is it very profitable?

I have the same issue quoted on one of the previous replies, in that most of the shops already have someone who picks up. One thing you might try is to leave them your number in case their regular person cannot make a pick up and they really need the stuff hauled off. Also, if for some reason their regular will no longer be able to make the route then that gives you an in to try and pick up the shop as a steady source.
