Where Do I Find Free Scrap Metal Pieces?

Scrap metal may sound like something worthless but is in fact big business. It is composed of old, unwanted and waste metal. The recycling however of scrap metal is in fact a thriving industry. There is even a proverb that goes "one man's trash is another man's treasure." It may prove very difficult to find free scrap metal but cheap or nominally priced scrap may be available at scrap yards. These yards usually buy scrap to recycle it. In certain cases and countries scrap is even exported to other countries for reprocessing. Since the metal may have come from factories and other industries it may contain harmful substances as well.

Try finding addresses of scrap yards in and around your area, the municipal waste collectors may even inform you of how and where they dispose of metal waste.

No scrap is free.  You can bid on demolition projects or salvage projects to obtain scrap metals.
