Short answer: Wait until you have a worthwhile weight, have the material sorted and described, get written offers from more than one buyer, agree how it will be weighed and paid, and consider arranging collection if the load is heavy, because larger quantities give you more bargaining power, and a few minutes spent comparing offers can be worth far more than the extra effort.
