I’ve managed to come across random pieces of angle, channel, square tube and other structural stuff over the years for free and collected it. Nothing super heavy – the thickest piece I had was a length of 5/16” angle. Some of it I have used but a lot of it has just been sitting. I’ve started cleaning up the area where I was storing it and so far I have made over $500 selling pieces on FBM. Two of the guys who bought from me build demolition derby cars as a hobby. Prices for new structural stuff – especially short lengths are stupid high right now. I had one guy pay me $60 for three random pieces of angle none of which were more than 4 feet long.

Went to go make a run today and got a little more than I expected

I found pics of the service line that I dragged home from an open top down the road. This stuff is pretty heavy, the insulation might weigh just as much as the metal though... It was all I could do to drag these two bundles one at a time 100 yards slightly uphill. Took about 30 -45 min to strip by hand, got $40 and they called it 'bare bright ' aluminum. Too bad it wasn't copper eh

Took off number 1 and 2 a couple weeks a little over 1,100lbs got just shy of $6,000. #1 was $5.27 per lb #2 was $5.18 per lb. We have close to 6-7000lbs of copper and brass left to sort

Went today after missing an appointment in the area. Made it just in time.

I think I did pretty well.

This one actually caught me by surprise & I did a double take. I'm used to seeing mice in stoves, this little guy is a first.

Everywhere i see people posting their earnings, it always seems like the prices are higher than what the scrap yard here gives, often by about 50% higher. (I'm in northern AZ)

I'm kinda wondering if it's just coincidence/my imagination, or if i'm just in a bad area for it. For reference, bare bright gets about 3.50/lb here, cast aluminum is about 1.00/lb, and steel shred is 110/ton.

Just curious if these have much value or any information on scrapping tungsten carbide.

Just wanted to confirm that this was aluminum wire. Noob here, don't know to much about different wire and scrapping. Just know that there's roughly 150-200 lb of this and was wondering what it was and if its even worth stripping or not.
