Here is what you do. Get a truck. Post on CL that you will haul away people's unwanted scrap metal for free. They call you and you go pick it up and sell it to a recycle center. Last year I had a carport that had a sheet metal roof. It collapsed under the the pressure of a huge snow storm. I stacked it all up, called a guy from CL and he came and got it. We were talking and he was saying how he does this just on the weekends and makes $400-$700 a day on the weekends getting people's scrap metal. Now he has some contacts and they will just call him so he is having to scramble less and less. It isn't a mint, but it is a nice second income.
