    I've never done anything like this before

    I was just dropping off some pop cans for a little money and saw others bringing in all kinds of other things. So, I want to give this a try. Can anyone give me ideas of what items are best to scrap. I made a list of some things I have: bikes, wheelbarrow, crutches, license plates, window a/c, grill grate, sled, metal milk crate, rebar and keys.
    Thanks for the help!

    All the answers are here, you just have to take the time and do a bunch of reading. Like going back to school except this reading will make you more money. Not only what to scrap but what to break down for more money.

    Key fetish,lol. I collect keys of any type as I have always liked keys since I was young. I have a nice collection of keys that I have found for free, traded for or bought at reasonable prices. I haven't paid any larger prices but on a few that caught my eye. And by larger prices I'm talking a few dollars each.

    You folks might find it odd that my most favorite collection is baby keys on rings, I kid you not. I have been collecting them the longest of all that I collect.
