A friend of my dad and mine has a printing company, they do everything you could imagine: B. cards, shirts, coffee mugs, pens, ect. We actually just picked up a fridge from his mother in law's who recently passed away. I am using him for all of my business related stuff.

Mortgage companies usually don't manage the properties they foreclose but you could contact them just to make sure. Not just foreclosed properties but houses that the State owns. When old people go into nursing homes, the state often takes the house to offset the cost. Find out who cleans out these houses and get in with them. There will often be cars and other vehicles to haul off. If you subcontract to the contractor, MAKE SURE there is an agreement as to your involvement - ie: labor. The main contractor may see you as free labor in exchange for whatever metal you get. You are in fact holding down his dump fees since he will pay these by weight. You could wind up working two or three days for half a ton of Light Iron.
