If the cost involved in fumigating your house with the tent and everything, for a few days while you spend the nights in a hotel, is less than what the value of the scrap is, then it might be worth the risk of bringing those nasty, disgusting critters home with you. But if it costs more to clean up the potential bug nightmare, than you would make off the scrap, then no, don't go near it.

Personally I have never lived in a place with roaches, but I have read about it. It's disgusting, and just living with them, their feces, the diseases, could potentially shave off years of your life, just the fumigation alone could shave off a few years of your life. I wouldn't play with it, you could be causing you a problem that lasts for years and spend more several times over than the scrap is worth.
