Start here, this gives you a general breakdown.
http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/showt...identification I do electronics because overall their smaller items and after you get them out of their steel carcass they don't take up a lot of room.
http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/forum...rs-amp-Sellers As you can tell by looking here that we have quite a few buyers here for
escrap. There is some price sheets listed with their posts for you to compare. Your last question about what's the most profitable would depend on what you like to scrap. Some guys do cars at 2 or 3 at a time, or around $800-$1000. at a time, where others do general scrap or copper. Copper and alum. seem to be the easiest to come across and prices seem to be holding good for awhile. It's whatever you would like to do, but don't do what 20 other scrappers in your area are doing, do what their not. Look on Craigslist under free and see what's available or out on trash day. If there's electronics's everywhere and no ones jumping on it then that's the way to go. Find your niche. Like I said, electronics's doesn't take up a lot of room.
