After stripping down my collection of used McPherson struts, and draining the oil out of them, I had another pile of junk I didn’t want.
So I loaded up the truck full of any scrap steel that I didn’t want anymore and took it off to the recycling center.
Fortunately it’s very close and I didn’t have to spend much on gasoline, because they only pay $90 per ton.
That’s 4.5 cents a pound.
This load turned out to be 667 lbs or 1/3 of a ton, so I made $30 cash, which was enough to buy half a tank of the cheapest gas.
That was all I could get in one load but I’m sure I have another 600 pounds laying out there that I should recycle. A lot of this is stuff I collected to build a jig for my car frame modifications. Much of it is just leftover scraps or things I thought I wanted to keep but never did use.
