    I use a traschcan for scraping cans, I use just an array of random buckets for aluminum and one for coppers, and I have a box the weighs like 2 pounds filled with nuts bolts and nails. I dont use buckets for most steel because if i take it its usually bigger. also for things to take just about everything will work, I mean lawnmowers, old snowblowers, string trimmers, fridges, stoves, airconditioners, metal shops scrap peices, aluminum gutters, tire rims, bikes, copper wire,I mean i can go on for more posts thn you would read on things to scrap but those are some of the main ones, also if you dont mind me asking, what tools do you have? if you dont have either a sawzall or angle grinder, or both i recomend you find some tools, you can prolly go to pawnshop and find one for 50 bucks easy. hope i helped,

    PS i just seen your post about stripping appliances, I look for motors wires and maybe aluminum pieces,and the outsides are worth something typically just as sheet metal.
