Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

That's true that it's not entirely the fault of the scrap yard that the prices are low here. I'm sure shipping is fairly costly for them.

I already do e-waste scrapping, that's my favorite for sure. Very easy to ship out, and a nice payment. Plus sometimes I can find something worth reselling on eBay.

I will look into working a deal with the local scrap yard in the meantime, as I do bring them a lot of material quite often, and do some research on the cost effectiveness of shipping (whether by freight, or just seeing how much I can stuff in a flat rate box). I appreciate the help.
