If it's steel, it's gonna have to be fairly heavy to make it worth your effort. Steel was paying $135 a ton last week. But the market price bounces around a lot.
Aluminum isn't bad - $.77 a pound
Copper and Brass are where it's at - it fluctuates quite a bit, but I turned in a mostly brass constructed radiator from an old FSJ Waggy a couple weeks ago and got $80. I believe those are paying around $4 a pound.

*These guys only take smaller items, and may have become a totally non-ferrous metal recycler (generally means if a magnet sticks to it, they don't recycle it) no whole cars and don't really pay what the market is giving.

I'm taking a junk '85 to the scrapper today - you can bring that stuff over here and I'll give ya a couple of bucks for it. We can weigh it and figure out what it's worth.
Edit: I just called All Recycling - they're paying just under $.10 a pound on scrap steel, or $190 a ton for straight scrap steel. Whole cars (engines, axles, radiators, batteries still in them) = $250 a ton, partial cars = $215 a ton.
Prices went up just a bit. :thumbup:

Wow! Back when I got started picking this stuff up off the ground, I was feeling pretty deluxe getting $65/ton for cast.
I was talking to our purchasing agent today, we lost a chunk of change this year on steel because people screw up the paperwork. No more dumpster diving, we have to make up the $$$ we lost.
Last year I asked to remove some dimensional steel from the roll-away, they acted like I was silly for thinking I might get in trouble. Times have sure changed.
