if u have a vehicle you can drive around ur neighborhood look at peoples garbage, or look for job sites that have container on them most contractors will allow you to go through the debris and take the metal. once you have some metal look in the yellow pages for scrap metal yards in the area. go to the yards u get weighed w/ the material and get paid right their. same w/ junk look around for junk and you could sell it on ebay, craigslist or in the classified ads of newspapers. if you have room to store all of the things u find have a garage sale. the other thing about metal is when u get to the scrap yards u might want to separate the material some metals such as copper and aluminum are worth different prices than steel metal or Lead. also electrical wires are worth money, lawn mowers, bicycles,fencing,refrigerators,air conditioners, dish washers,dryers, ovens etc etc all are valuable. also check the pricing at different scrap yards some pay more than others for certain materials
