maybe NIssenbaum's Auto Parts, off Webster Avenue south of Union Square? There are several smaller scrap metal operations in the same area.

I might get in on this scrap wood thing - do you by any chance have sheets of plywood? At least 85in(7ft) long, 16in(1.5ft) wide, maybe?

If you are up for a little drive, and not looking for totally free, I can also really recommend Habitat for Humanity's ReStore. There are two in MA: http://www.habitat.org/cd/env/restore_detail.aspx?place=66

Basically, they're like a Goodwill for contractors. Contractors hit the end of a job (plumbing, wiring, building, painting, yadda), and they have overage that's not really enough for the next job, or not reusable because of various laws or just because it's difficult. They donate for the tax receipts, and then people can buy them for cheap. Selection is broad but random (ie, you want paint, you need to go in thinking 'I want something pale green,' not 'I want this colour chip.'). All income goes to support Habitat for Humanity building.
