Scrap metal

[JimDRIl]

We are getting ready to put our place on the market and I have a fairly good sized pile of scrap, an old cast iron furnace among the steel. Any ideas on what someone would likely pay for this?

Most areas the local classified paper will have several adds of people who buy scrap, thrifty nickel, penny saver or whatever paper you have. If you let them bid on it you will be surprised what they will pay.

If you are hauling it to a scrap yard yourself, you will get a higher price than if someone comes in to haul it out.

You did not mention what you are planning.

Cast will bring more than rusty tin. You will get more by seperating out the metals. For me, it's only 7 miles out of my way when I go to the recyclers. I feel like it's Christmas at the recyclers. I get paid for bringing them my junk. I have two choices, paying to take it to the landfill, which is over 25 miles each way, get a flat tire at the dump, or go to the recyclers.

I wouldn't worry what the price is, I would just take it. Most people around where I live may give you 30% of the profit, if that much. Many want to haul it away for free. So take it yourself. Call ahead if you want to get the price. I have many places I can go, but I like to save time, gasoline and only load it, they unload it with a crane and a magnet.
