I think you'll have to figure out what kind of scrap is still available in your area. As an example; some people scrap cars, trucks, and farm machinery while others do general scrap along with appliances. Still others refine thereselves down to electronic scrap. If you have 30 scrappers in your general area that scraps cars/trucks, you sure don't want to start there. Hope this helps as we don't know your area of the country.
