I took 950lbs of scrap steel to cycle systems and got a whopping $13.00......and a piece of metal imbedded in one of my tires.
New tire/mount/balance=~$64
Cash I got for dragging all that crap to them $13
Total net profit= -$51
My dreams of early retirement via metal recycling went in the crapper real quick
....not to mention the gas to make the trip and the hour or so spent sorting the crap out to make sure I didnt have anything on the truck they wouldnt take (shocks, gas tanks, AC parts, etc).
