Just as Burly said, im also an REO contractor and that is one of the things we do also... it covers the extra expense we have come up on us sometime... i service 6 counties in nj so it off sets the extra driving/ issues that come up... Keep trying though im sure youll get a few hits here and there...sometimes when im in an area i cant take the scrap with me, so i call the local scrapper from CL and let him or her know about the situation and i just give it to them figure i get some and i give back some for the next guy trying to make some extra $$$$...

If you make an offer that keeps them from going to the scrap metal yard it may make sense for them to sell to you. However in my case I have a deal worked out where a 60 yard container is in my lot for steel and inside the building I break everything else down into more valuable scrap. Not sure what you could offer me to make it more advantageous to me to sell to you.
Not trying to discourage you, I just thought you might like my perspective.
