With the economy still
recovering, selling scrap metal has become a new way for more and
more people to earn extra money. Instead of throwing away metal
goods, many people now see the importance of keeping them. An old car
engine, a broken washing machine, a lawn mower, and even Christmas
light bulbs are now worth collecting. With a little patience, you
will be able to accumulate a significant amount of scrap in time,
which you can sell at a local scrap metal buyer.
Scrap metal buyers can
be easily found in your local phone book under the headings of
“recycling” and “scrap metal.” Not all buyers, however,
advertise in phone books; some of them put up flyers instead. You can
also ask your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers if they know
a buyer that they can recommend. Searching for online ads can also be
helpful.
Another way to look for
honest scrap metal buyers is to check out collision centers and
machine shops. These types of businesses usually deal with scrap
metal, so they may know of a scrap yard that offers great prices for
scrap metals. You can also ask plumbers, roofers, electricians, and
building contractors since these people also deal with recyclable
metals.
After your research,
check your list and call each buyer for a quote if you were not able
to get specific pricing. When you’re done, compare the prices and
choose which one meets your needs.
