Scrap Metal Collection 101: Where to find more scrap metals

No more scrap metals at home? Here are some ideal places where those sparkly things can be found. However, make sure to ask permission before you fetch and sell them to scrap metal merchants.

• Small scale repair shops commonly have metal parts and old appliances they want removed.
• Small retail shops periodically remodel and get rid of steel shelving and old shopping trolleys.
• Construction sites have lots of metal beams and poles. Ask for the contractors permission beforehand to avoid scrap theft accusations. Remember to negotiate courteously.
• If you’re near rural areas, farms and ranches have tons of rusting tools and broken machinery in their ravines.
• Shooting ranges are packed with brass shells which can be sent to metal recycling. Contact them as soon as possible to find out a good time to collect them.
• Hospitals and clinics have store rooms full of old medical equipment and wheelchairs which are sometimes not usable anymore.

In this space, you’ll want to have a steady supply of scraps to sell. Therefore it’s important to build a healthy rapport with the contractors and shop owners. Emphasise that you’re removing their clutter free of charge. You now know where to get those steady supply of scraps but do you know where to sell them?
