Begin by separating scrap into practical groups such as metal, cables, packaging, wood, and mixed waste. Keep hazardous or unidentified materials apart and identify them before collection. Proper sorting supports safer handling and more accurate assessment.
Estimate the approximate quantity and take clear photographs of the material and access area. Note whether the scrap is loose, stacked, inside a building, or located near heavy traffic. These details help the collection team plan suitable loading and transport.
Agree on the material type, collection timing, loading responsibilities, and pricing method in advance. Keep the site clear during pickup and retain any required records for your internal waste management process.
