You should not meet CL buyers at your own house or business. You also should not have to go too far to meet. Offer a certain small quantity of what you have, and reply to three different CL responders. If one seems promising, trustworthy, non-shady, ask if you could call them again with more next week/month. Meet them again in a week/month. Get to know them a little, then if they seem like a regular scrapper, they can come by and pick up right from your place after you know them.
In your first ad, request scrapper from your area. They will keep coming longer if it isn't way out of their way. Scrappers like to run pick-up routes that make sense and are economical. State in the ad, you may be looking/interviewing for someone who can do a regular periodic pick-up. If you set up something regular, get their name, addr, truck license, phone, etc. Offer to refer them when you can.
For the first time strangers, put a small amount of your junk in the truck and meet at a grocery store parking lot near you. Anyone you like, could then get the rest at later date, and regular pick-ups.
You might find someone on the board, if we know where you are. I'm in MN.
