You might want to specialize since you have limited storage room. Maybe concentrate on copper (for example, as copper is a high dollar, low storage). Can you find a few electricians to give you there scrap wiring? Then strip the insulation, nearly tripling its scrap value. A side benefit - you can haul a lot in your car and no need for a truck or trailer. Just a simple idea - there are many other possibilities. Mainly - read old threads on here for background information and to get other ideas. (Advise - Don't start out trying something like catalytic converters or electronic scrapping. Wait till you've gotten your "feet wet".)
Oh yeah. First, go to your scrap yard and get a price sheet. "$20/ton" was the clue you need to do that.
