Search for scrap metals. One of the easiest ways is to drive around the day before trash pick up and collect scrap. A pickup truck is ideal for hauling around your finds, but most vehicles will suffice. You can place ads offering to remove people's junk for free. Contact local plumbers and offer to take away any unwanted items.
Sort your scrap metal into varying types of metals. Different metals are worth different amounts of money per pound.
Store your scrap metal in sorted piles. A backyard is an ideal place to keep your scrap until you bring it to a dealer. If you live in an apartment, work out a deal with someone you know that has a storage area to temporarily store your scrap.
Contact some local scrap dealers in your area. Call around and see who has the most competitive rates. You can find dealers by searching online or in the phone book.
Deliver your scrap to the dealer, who will then weigh out your scrap and compensate you appropriately.
