Before you start collecting scrap metal to take to your local scrap yard first it is important to know the laws that control the buying and selling scrap metal in South Africa.

Next, speak to the people in your local community to see if they have anything that they want to get rid of. This is a great way to collect your first haul to take to the scrap yard and it will help out the community. After that aim to find scrap copper. It has a huge value and is easy to get your hands on. The most common place to find copper is in wires. Scrap wire is everywhere and is a great way to make money. Copper can also be found in old electronics alongside other valuable materials.
