Does anyone have any personal recommendations for places that they use for turning scrap metal to cash in Northern Delaware?

There's a place by the 12th street landfill in Wilmington.. We take our scrap there..
I think it's Diamond State Recycling...

did you get a decent amount of cash for it?
What I mean is was it worth taking it or would it be better use of my time and gas to just put it out on the curb and let the trash pickers have at it?

But look at it this way.. Whatever you get back is more than you had to begin with... You get nothing for regular trash..

The one closest to Gander Hill is the one I'm talking about and last I checked it was still open...

took mine to newark recycling on albe drive off old balt pike
GL they gave my $7 per 100lbs and they called it "light iron"
it was a steel pool, so dirty steel with the paint and plastic coating and stuff
i would call them and ask what the rates are
i have like 490 lbs of metal and 1 car radiator. i got like $35 bux, radiator was only worth $1.80 | | The Following User Says Thank You to Chase For This Useful Post: | |
