Just keep your receipts from the yards when you turn in metal to report as income, but also keep gas receipts/mileage log so you can write off the driving to the yard, metal pickups, etc. Also tools, supplies, and things like that can be written off as expenses. If you donate to goodwill, you get a tax rebate, so check out the prices for things on their website for what they will write it off as and just bring things there instead of throwing them away.
