Short answer: For a small amount, the quickest route is usually to take it to a nearby buyer yourself, since the cost of a pickup is rarely worth it at small weights, and to combine it with other loads or neighbours' scrap if you can, because the minimum quantities that many buyers set mean small loads are often priced lower or turned away.
