I will figure something out though because I think it could make money. Has anyone else had any luck dealing with WM for buying or taking stuff out
I'd say the problem with WM is that they typically handle the reycling of appliances. As far as scrap metal goes, I'd just go in and ask them. "Hey can I hang around here and collect scrap metal since you're not recycling it?" While you're waiting, maybe help people unload their stuff. But like I said earlier the bigger trash companies have policies for EVERYTHING but I think if you're cool about it, (maybe throw the manager a few bucks here and there) I think if they were to turn you down, it's probably because when the big whigs come in to inspect/audit they don't want to get in trouble because they let you hang out there all day taking scrap.
Try! it's definitely worth a shot

Have you thought about driving the streets with a trailer to limit the trips to the shop and time out on the street.
No, the shop is a 5 min. drive from where I'm scrapping. I don't like pulling extra weight when I don't have to. Plus scrappers here don't use trailers. We just put up walls, and ladder racks and stack it high.
I'm also working on buying a large diesel cabover dump truck with a 16 foot dump bed. I'll be just fine
