Just an opinion but i would say that you might think of scrapping as recycling. Find an aspect of recycling that strikes a chord with you. There are many different kinds of recycling.
Here's one out of left field:
A high end furniture maker in the area has a lot of environmental concerns. It's almost like a religion with him. Anyway ... he stopped by our business about a month ago to see if our recycling efforts measure up to his standards. I walked him through our recycling operation and he seemed fairly well satisfied.
We got to talking and i learned something new that day. Locally, we have a very big lobster fishing industry. The biggest on the entire East Coast. That industry generates a lot of waste polyethylene rope. That rope is being collected and sent out for reprocessing into sheets of new plastic. The furniture maker has introduced a new line made from that plastic and is selling it all across the U.S. to his high end customers.
Point being: There's a lot more going on than just metals. You have to look around.
