We're remodeling our small bathroom, and I had the old copper shower pan, a one foot length of 2" copper piping, and the aluminum framing from the old shower stall door. I added that to a yard waste bag full of crushed cans and about 75lbs of good, non-mag stainless that I had lying around, and got $78 for it all. It's not enough to retire on, but it's more than I was expecting. Gotta love that copper! Thanks for reading, and happy scrapping everyone!

Hi Rambo, I'm here in Rhode Island, but I can't help you with prices. I do this on a small scale, and I don't bother weighing things or even asking what the going rates are. I go to a local yard that I know and trust, and I get what I get and am happy to be getting it. I know that's rather unscientific, but I've never felt that I got less than I should from this yard. |
