i scrapped alot of metal to pay bills over the years
there's some crooked dealers out there so shop around
steel and iron are pretty worth-less they used to cover the fuel to get to the scrap yard.
last time i scrapped iron i got a penny and a half a pound.
copper brings big bucks
brass is decent
aluminum is middle road but doesn't weigh much.
stainless steel was about 20 cents a pound last time i scrapped it.
make sure it's as clean as you can get it.
ie remove insulation from wire if possible.
get all the steel fasteners dowels screws bolts etc out of the aluminum
call ahead for pricing.
dont mix metals
