An option is to just save up the metal & when you have a largish amount, call the scrapper & tell them what you have & that you are adding to it.
Now, one day the scrappers gonna get a phone call from someone who needs a few tons or metal to fulfull a contract. Thats when they will pay you wayyy more than the normal price.
Ie to get a contract that will get them good $$, they willbe prepared to loose a few $$ to the person who gets them the amount of scrap they need to win the contract.
