You walk away with money and also paid vacation time.

step two: find a buddy willing to help you pick-up/ go around with you hunting for metal ---need at least two guys picking up appliances/fridges etc.
step three: go hunting for scrap metal---advertise on craigslist and other local classifieds that you offer free scrap metal remover (appliances, metal cabinets, cars, etc.)...also drive around on garbage days through several neighbourhoods---some times people just throw !+*+ to the curb...also can post some flyers on bus stops etc.
step four: take the scrap metal to a metal scrapper or junk yard...you go through this giant scale...get out of the car, they weigh the truck with the metal in it...estimate the trucks weight... subtract the total weight minus the estimated truck rate and thats the weight you get paid for... you go into the office and they give you cash or check.
simple as that. ( i don't do this, but always wanted to lol)---the price of metal is up right now i think so you can get top dollar for metal.

I'm actually an accountant for a scrap company and the steps listed above are basically what you do. We've got guys who have left us business cards that do this full time (we only p/u industrial size accounts at this point) and anytime someone calls and wants to get rid of scrap that they can't haul off we give them the number of one of our regulars. The major key in getting big money from this is determining what types of metals you have. In it's simplest forms we classify metals into 2 categories, Ferrous and Non-Ferrous. The easiest difference between the two grades is anything that is considered Ferrous a magnet will stick to and therefore is likely worth less, examples iron/steel etc.Originally Posted by romeo0o

basically. usually, you'll see a ford e250 or something similar driving around asking people for metal or help with removing garbage. by garbage, they'll take anything that would contain metals. at the end of the day, they'll sell whatever they have by the pound to places that recycles scrap metals.
then there's those that straight rob from construction sites and renovation project locations.

The only people making money doing this are low lifes who can't hold down a job or who need the money ASAP to buy drugs. I worked at many demolition sites and you wouldn't believe the people that would stop by and ask for scraps. Disgusting. Get a job.
A friend of mine has a dump truck, F550. He filled that with metal from a demolition site and took it to the scrap yard, he literally made like $50.00 dollars, and that was a dump truck worth, not your average pick up.
And if you have to result stealing from construction sites, etc. you will get arrested, even if it's been demolished. The scraps aren't yours.
