What town are you in? And what do you think you will get a lb?
Better hope that those roll offs weren't there specifically to put those steel pieces in for recycling by the builder.
Did you as for permission? look around for cameras?
I get that it's tempting, but you gotta err on the side of not overstepping.

They are just trash bins no signs. I got 4.50 a 100 lbs
for the clean steel
You probably helped them out as price for steel so low it was going to the landfill for a charge.
Better than the dump!
At $90/ton a full roll-off is still hundreds of dollars of steel scrap. If you ask you might get it for free still *and* on your schedule as well as make a contact for a regular scrap supply from the demo firm. Pulling scrap uninvited from a roll-off can get you banned from yards if there were cameras and whoever owns the roll-off circulates the pictures
...I have gotten paid to haul away things instead in lieu of people getting a roll off. I recently made ALOT for ~2 hours of work (my son and I- I'd rather not post the amount) before my truck accident. It made mockery of my hourly rate for my side gig of IT contracting - and needless to say more than collecting any kind of metal or e-waste - but... there was some scrap in those 2 loads as well. If you have a truck, even with very little skill and a small truck you should have some $$$.
