How to unlock the Scrap Collector achievement in Mad Max - Definitive Guide

Here's a couple of tips to get you started on this:
Update
Scrapulances give you 500 scrap once returnong to a stronghold, there are 2 camps I know of that have them at the entrance. Otherwise, they appear randomly on the road and even less frequently once all strongholds are at 0 threat.
You will receive 740 scrap periodically once you clear all camps.
You can also farm scrap by doing death runs if you have cleanup crew project done for the stronghold surrounding it. Just thunderpoon all the vehicles then when done get out your vehicle, race will fail, then retry. You won't get Mich scrap though (30-40)

I first started getting 5,000 scrap first then using it all to upgrade all needed stats for max and Magnus opus.
You will want to allocate wisely based on the first two territories(Gutgash and Jeet) so you don't need to buy everything just buy what you need.
Here is how you will get 500-600 every 30 minutes after finishing.

Cleanup crew and scrap collection is the first two projects you will want to build in Jeet and Gutgash strongholds, this will provide you with scrap for every enemy or scarecrow you take out in these territories instead of getting out of your vehicle to pick them up.

Upgrade your Griffa ability 'Volition' as much as you can this will greatly increase your scrap intake every time you pickup scrap, fully maxed you can get 10-15 per some pickups.

Now, start to dismantle every Scotus camp that you see in these territories. These camps will be your primary source of major income once you dismantle them.

Once you do all this you can progress regularly throughout the game and get 500-600 scrap every 25-30 mins plus all the scrap at every scavenging location.

One thing I rarely utilized was returning enemy vehichles to strongholds for scraps so I'm not sure how much you will be compensated for that.
Every scrapubulance that you see attack.
Every storm you are in the middle try to get as much muthaloot as possible, there's up to 300 scrap in each crate(50 plus another 50 if your volition is maxed out.
Look for locations with scrap pallets, they can give you up to 50 scrap per pallet.
Every enemy you kill loot them if possible.

Any other tips feel free to comment and I'll add.

The enemy vehicles that have cog like icons above them give you roughly 500 scrap when you bring them back. I personally upgraded only what I had too to progress story i.e harpoon and sniper I also got the jack vehicle. By the time I had nearly finished clearing jeets areas I popped this.

Can you not just let the game idle and get the auto scrap from your camps?

RSDAY, I'm going to idle overnight at the Jeet camp and see how much I get. I'm at ~140 per 25-30 now. I'll report back here

You can but this is more of a game progress solution.

Yeah it was working up to a certain point and then seemed to drop off. had about 1200 after idling from ~11pm-3am, then I got none from 3am-9am

I think it may have been auto-upgrading the storage part of the stronghold.

The idling because scrap lowers over time, you would to restart the game a few times.

This trophy requires you to have 10,000 scrap in your inventory. While this may initially seem like an huge amount, you will find it that as you progress through the game, especially as you clean up post-story, you will end up with more than enough scrap to unlock this trophy along with Just Rewards. Both will come over time so there is no need to go out of your way to accumulate sufficient scrap early in the game.

As specified in the achievement description, this achievement is not cumulative. You must have a total of 10,000 scrap in your inventory at once to unlock this achievement.

In order to buy everything required to unlock all other achievements in the game, you'll likely be earning in the neighborhood of 100,000 scrap across the entire game. While it may be tempting to get this out of the way early by stockpiling in the beginning of the game, I would highly caution against this. The bigger fights against many enemies on foot or in vehicles will be far more difficult and frustrating without spending scrap on the many available upgrades. So instead, I recommend waiting until you've fully upgraded Max and gotten a bunch of helpful car upgrades before you start stockpiling scrap. A good time to do it is when you're clearing out all the camps and threat on the map during the mop up portion of the game. The scrap will come quick during that phase, and you won't be needing any for upgrades, so let 10,000 accumulate in inventory to unlock this achievement then.

By the middle of the game you will get an achievement, it’s easier if you capture camps, they also provide scrap. But the main thing is not to waste scrap, since it does not stack, that is, you need to collect 10,000 scrap without spending it.

I think it's easiest to do at the beginning of the game, since the beginning of the game is not very difficult
and does not require fast leveling up of the car and character!)

Not cumulative. The entire amount must be in the “wallet”.

At the end of the game, when you clear everything out, you will have accumulated an amount much larger than this. There will be no place to spend scrap and you will get a trophy without any problems.

Glitch fixed. The box was removed. Info 100%. I checked it myself.
The trophy is easy to get in 2 ways:
1) Do not spend scrap at the beginning of the game (only buy Max upgrades). Build up scrap very quickly. In this way I accumulated scrap purely on the territory of Jit,
2) After completing the campaign, when you go to “clean” all the places of plunder.
