The best ones are the 6 / 12 monthly payments, no interest plans!

JOnSie,

How much per pound can I get for rusted alloy steel from an old firepit?

It's going for .08 a pound on East coast...

They call it "light iron"....
Dont let them know it's rusted...just get on the scale, drive off to pile, dump it...get back on the scale and cash out...
If it is heavy melt? Let them know that first ..heavy melt is a different pile than "light iron"....

Now ...very thick steel...like car rotors, metal sewer pipes,
Angle iron, rebar, beams...etc....

That is called "heavy melt" and gets .11 cents a pound..

Now... whatever you do!!!

Always seperate your metals...

Unscrew and take apart stuff that has multiple metals...
You'll get way more money...

Aluminum .45 cent lb.
Brass $1.80
Copper various #'s $3.00-3.85
Wire low yield .90 lb
Medium yield $1.40
High yield $1.90
Stainless .45 lb.
Car battery .25-30 lb
Is your basic numbers ..

40 x .08 = $3.20 cents on the small scale...
They are calibrated by 1 lb increments

If you use the big vehicle scale?
They are calibrated by 20 lb increments...

Soooo'
35 lbs is paid at only 20 lbs
45 lbs is paid at only 40 lbs

*****AND FOR GOD'S SAKES!!!!!

***DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR ON THAT FREAKIN SCALE AND GET OUT TO GO GET YOUR MONEY....DRIVE OFF THE SCALE AND PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE.....DO NOT HOG THE SCALE LIKE A MORON ...

I HATE SCALE HOGGERS THAT TRY TO GET PAID LEAVING VEHICLES ON THE SCALE FOR MINUTES ON END ...

IT IS RUDE AND ONLY **** DO THAT...

JonSiE,

What can I get for a 10 year old sink and a used American Standard faucet?
Where do I get it?

Is the sink stainless steel?
Single or double?

A double is usually 10-15 lbs
Stainless is bringing .65 cents a lb

So $6.50 or $9.75

Take it to a metal recycling yard.

You gotta take the faucet apart to get the "most" money...
Remove all hoses, clip of the brass screw nuts with a bolt cutter. Remove bottom plastic plate.
Unscrew the handle with a small Allen wrench ( if one piece) or take off handles with a Phillip screw driver ..
Take it the plastic guys in the handle... usually the outer part is cast aluminum .55 lb...and the actual water touching parts are yellow brass $2.10 lb...
Prolly get $4.50-7.00 for the faucet ..

It is a double sink. Not stainless steel. Probably ceramic. It is the old school sink when sinks were just sinks.

If it is ceramic, do I still take it to the metal recycle place? Is ceramic recycling a thing?

Thank you, Jonsie.

Is ceramic considered recycling?
Ceramic items can be donated or tossed.

Ceramic items cannot be recycled at most facilities, though sometimes facilities that recycle bricks and concrete will recycle ceramics.Jun 24, 2018
