Roll-off/Dumpster service is pretty competitive due to both large and small companies offering them, so without actually owning the container and the truck to move it, you may be fighting an up hill battle.
You may want to start with some 55 gallon drums or bins built on pallets at places that produce consistent amounts of steel, ewaste, etc.
Sooner or later you will figure something out so don't give up.
Thanks for your reply,
Starting off a bit smaller is a good idea, I just don't know where to call in order to scrap their left over metal. I tried wire manufacturers but they already got people.
The reason why I like this idea, is because I make money from time. I just leave a dumpster there and wait. I wish I could do something like this, I have no other ideas on how to scrap.
Here is an add that I used to run on Craigslist and got a good enough response to keep me busy until I established some regular clients and consistent sources of scrap. I ran it in appliances wanted and in the service section.

Thanks for the suggestion,
However, I don't have a truck to out all of that in and I don't have enough strength to pick most of that stuff up. I have no strength in my hands due to the side effect of a muscle disease that I have. I am completely healed from it, but my strength is lacking in my hands so lifting labor like that is difficult...
Which is why I liked the idea of me just having trucks drop off to containers to ppl. It doesn't involve any physical labor for me.
