Expanding into other recyclables worth money

My girl and I do metal, paper and cardboard. It takes a lot of paper or cardboard to make it worth doing. I do it because there are so many scrappers in my area now, some days its hard to find any metal at all. And work is in a slump at the moment. Gotta pay the bills somehow!

That is why I'm considering it. All my secret scrap metal spots are no longer secret. For the longest time I had three plumbing places that would give me their steel. They kept the copper and brass and left the iron pipes and water heaters behind the dumpster for me. Now who the heck knows how many times other scrappers stop by those same spots all day everyday.
The trash men here quit taking old tv and computer screens so that really hurts my copper pile.
