Scrapping Ideas

My advice is to lower your sights. Big companies usually have contracts with scrap yards. Go after the small repair shops and individuals. Remember the saying - You gotta walk before you can run.

and I don't know how to go about this. I've been sending letters to buy their scraps, but none been calling me to participate on biddings.

Do you represent your self as a business and not just some scrapper down the street?? Large corporations like to deal with other businesses so there is a paper trail of the recycling maybe. Like Mick said, you may have to start out smaller until you learn the business.
