QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES?
I'm not familiar with the lead situation in your area but you might consider putting a want to buy ad in one of the local papers or on Craigslist. Find out what the local scrap yards pay and offer a little more. Try to acquire an old scale for this purpose and a collection of plastic buckets. Try to learn as much as you can about the different types of scrap lead.
Thanks for the edit hint.
I have been casting for 35+ years and have studied various alloys. I now use 6%:2% exclusively.
I usually offer $0.05 over the local recyclers to private sellers.
