    I dunno If I'd wanna invest in anything like that at the moment, perhaps in the future after I've finished my post secondary education, Think I can make an ok amount of money with just the space I have in the car?

    It can be done, I've seen dedicated scrappers the die hards using shopping carts, bycyles with a small trailer turning a buck. This old scrapper in Vancouver BC when he died it was discovered that he owned several apartment buildings.

    Get a few 10 gallon buckets, set them aside and start throwing your copper, brass, small aluminum in them.

    When they fill up load them in the trunk and take them in.

    Look for resellable items, etc...it all adds up.

    There's no rules on how or what you need to start with, just start, then you can decide how far you want to go with it.
