Before you do any of this; I would seriously consider getting the proper vehicle. Its a long slow climb if you are going to try and haul 10 pounds in a 1 pound bag. If you are truly stuck with what you have for hauling consider looking for certain items. Stick to high yielding items that take up little space. Car batteries, wire, car rotors.
Thanks for the advice. Sadly I will be limited by the car until I get some type of low dollar truck. I am wanting to go big on collecting every type of metal I can
but like you said in a car it is impossible. I like what you said about sticking to smaller high yield items, and for now that is what I am going to do.

Have to start some where right? I am sure there is someone else on this forum that started small and expanded into a bigger operation.
