Around my neck of the woods, a mom and pop business is the only place I'm able to get scrap. The larger industries and factories around here all have their own roll-off container sitting out back that goes straight to the shredder. I always had an easy in with the repair garages, since I was in the auto salvage business anyways, I'd sell em used parts and take away the busted parts as I left. Schools and government can be tough since they have surplus protocols they usually have to follow, which means an auction more than likely.



One place I have scored in the past was with real estate companies. They list a property that has some junk on it and want it gone and they dont care how. Got several old school buses this way. You might go leave cards with some of them and tell them to call if they need something cleaned out.
