When your being watched, just shout out with treasure in hand "WOW this is just what I needed".
A winning atmosphere is contagious.

Experienced Scrapper
I'm in the borough of Queens in New York City. So how can I collect scrap if it is against the law I don't want to be fined it is not worth it if that is the case.

Go down to the police station and ask if it is legal or not and if there are any permits or things you must get in order to scrap.
NYC is know far and wide for making it difficult to open and operate a business. I think you should contact businesses and ask them for their scrap. Under stand that you will have lots of competition for scrap metal. I expect you may need to specialize in an area of the business. You've mentioned you don't have a truck or a storage area to work with. Keep reading the old threads you will begin to recognize opportunities. 73, Mike
PS when calling on businesses you are selling your service(what ever type scrapping you intend to do)
"Profit begins when you buy NOT when you sell." {quote passed down to me from a wise man}
Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

NYC doesn't work that way.
The regular NYC police have nothing to do with NYC sanitation laws. The NYS sanitation departmaent has their own sanitation police to enforce sanitation laws.
You can read the laws here:

If you want to scrap in NYC you have to develop relationships with people/businesses to give you scrap.
You also need signed, dated, detailed receipts to prove the scrap items were given to you and not picked off the curb.
Pictures of people giving you the scrap items would also be a good idea.
