Just saying hello and letting yall know how much we like your forum, its very informative and ive learned a lot already. Ive been doing this on the side for a few years now, but wonder how hard it would be to do this as a full time job? Let me know. ;)
Hello, from the coast of NC. Quite a few of us here. Far as your question I'm sure someone else will chime in, if not the search option might provide you with quicker results then waiting. It needs a bit of work but it does work that wonderful search function we have.
My stab at your question though, would be Depends on your area on how difficult it would be to make this a full time gig. My sandbar doesn't have a lot of room for competition for regular old scrap, so you have to be creative or focus on a niche. I tend to focus more on TVs, Computers, Monitors, etc. in my area. Though I also do the normal metal route.
Anyhow, welcome to the forums, and good luck in your scrapping ventures!

Welcome to the forum. So where are you located? I agree with Sirscrapalot, it can depend on the area you live and work in. In the larger cities you will have a lot more competition but more potential.
This scrapping thing is a whole lot of work. There are so many possible asspects to it like reselling some items can make a lot more than recycling. Find your niche. I would think a guy who did construction might look for great deals on used tools and find ways to rebuild and resell them. Mike.
