For me scrap metal is a bi-product. I'm a curb side shopper. I go out looking for anything I can repair, refurbish, or sell as is. If I come across good scrap metal I do take it. But I usually drive right past steel that doesn't weigh much and takes up space on my truck.
There is way more money in selling things for what they are as opposed to the metal they are made of. Certain broken items can even be sold for parts with no work breaking them down.
So if I can't repair it, refurbish it or sell it for parts or use it for parts myself, then it becomes scrap metal.
BTW I use Craigslist to sell everything.
Also get some cheap business cards made. It really helps.
Good luck, Randy
