i take my metal to b&b recycling and some times ben weitsman of hornell (upstate shredding)
Young Fella, I too started in New York and it can be a Scrappers gold mine but take the time to learn. Read prior post and ask lots of questions, and for heaven sakes, don't develop a smoking, drinking, or tobacco chewing habit. Start saving and investing your money, don't just spend in vein.
