Piano Metal Recycling

[Keith Roberts]

Most real centers will take it. They won't pay anything for it.  #1 grade
scrap copper is bare electric wire. I was bringing in scrap soft water tube,
still shiny, no solder, and it was #2. At least you don't have to pay to
dump it. Cleaned or melted down it might build up. The scrap guys like to
measure things in tons. A big truck of cast iron plates looks real good.
Watch the price of the metal on the business page. Copper would go from
$.90/lb to $1.49/lb for #2 at certain times of the year.

lot of copper in there. Do any kind of metal recycling places take any of
our garbage like this? Anyone have any experience with this?
